LEADERSHIP BLIND SPOT #3 🎯

The mistake of assuming everyone is motivated by the same things that motivated you.

One of the biggest mistakes leaders make is believing that what drove them to succeed should automatically motivate everyone else.

But times change. People change. Expectations change.

Today's employees aren't necessarily less ambitious or less committed. Many simply define success differently.

They want respect, opportunities to grow, meaningful work, and a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives.

The problem begins when leaders mistake different priorities for a lack of ambition.

Great leadership isn't about creating people who think exactly like you. It's about understanding what motivates individuals and bringing out their best.

This is one of the important themes explored in my leadership book: recognizing the blind spots that can quietly undermine even experienced leaders.

Because sometimes the biggest obstacle to becoming a better leader isn't what you don't know.

It's what you believe you already know.

THE VANISHING FIRST RUNG

Are We Blaming Gen Z for a Career Ladder We Are Dismantling?

For generations, the career ladder had a first rung.

Young people entered the workforce, learned from experienced colleagues, made mistakes, developed judgment, and gradually earned greater responsibility.

Today, that first rung is disappearing.

And Gen Z is the first generation being forced to navigate this transformation at scale.

We hear constant criticism of Gen Z.

They lack resilience. They expect too much. They are impatient for promotion. They struggle with workplace expectations. They are not prepared for leadership.

But perhaps we are asking the wrong questions.

How can we expect Gen Z to develop the experience, judgment, and professional maturity we demand when we are systematically removing the opportunities that develop those qualities?

Artificial intelligence is increasingly performing the routine tasks that once provided young employees with their introduction to professional life.

Entry-level positions are being redesigned, reduced, or eliminated. Employers want people who can contribute immediately, often without investing in the training and mentorship that previous generations received.

And then we wonder why young employees struggle to meet our expectations.

There is a fundamental contradiction here.

We expect Gen Z to behave like experienced professionals while denying them the experiences that create experienced professionals.

Yet Gen Z also brings something enormously valuable to the workplace.

They are digitally fluent, comfortable challenging established practices, and often quicker to embrace emerging technologies. Many are questioning outdated workplace cultures and demanding greater transparency, flexibility, and purpose.

These are not necessarily weaknesses.

They may be precisely the capabilities organisations need for the future.

But technological fluency is not the same as leadership maturity.

Knowing how to use AI does not automatically teach someone how to manage conflict, make difficult decisions, build trust, motivate teams, or accept accountability when things go wrong.

Those capabilities develop through experience,

THE VANISHING FIRST RUNG

Every successful career starts somewhere.

The junior assistant.
The trainee.
The graduate.
The apprentice.
The entry-level employee.

These jobs have never just been about completing basic tasks.

They are where people learn how work actually works.

They make mistakes.
They watch experienced people.
They learn judgment.
They develop confidence.
They gradually take on greater responsibility.

But AI is beginning to change that.

Many of the tasks traditionally given to junior employees are precisely the tasks AI can now perform quickly and cheaply.

For businesses, removing those roles can look like efficiency.

But there is a question we should be asking:

If we remove the first rung of the ladder, how does the next generation climb it?

Today's junior employee is tomorrow's manager.

Today's trainee is tomorrow's expert.

Today's inexperienced recruit may eventually become the person your organisation depends upon.

If companies automate away too many entry-level opportunities, we may discover years from now that we haven't simply reduced headcount.

We've broken the pipeline that creates experience.

AI should absolutely change the way we work.

But leadership requires thinking beyond next quarter's productivity numbers.

We must ask what today's decisions will do to the workforce five, ten and twenty years from now.

Because there is little value in building a faster ladder...

if nobody can reach the first rung.

The workforce has changed.

THE PRODUCTIVITY TRAP

We’ve become obsessed with productivity.

More output.
More targets.
More meetings.
More technology.
More ways to measure performance.

And yet many leaders are missing something important:

Being busy is not the same as being productive.

When people are constantly pushed to do more with less, productivity may rise for a while.

But eventually something else happens.

People stop thinking.

They stop challenging bad decisions.
They stop bringing new ideas.
They stop caring about the outcome and start concentrating on surviving the workload.

That is the productivity trap.

Great leadership isn't about squeezing every possible minute of output from people.

It's about creating an environment where people can think, contribute, improve and perform consistently.

Technology and AI will make us faster.

But faster doesn't automatically mean better.

The leaders who understand that distinction will have an enormous advantage in the workplace that's coming.

The workforce has changed.
Have you?
