What does the next generation really want from work?

In this episode of Future-Proof, we sit down with Dr. Tara Ceranic Salinas, a professor of business ethics at the Knauss School of Business at the University of San Diego, to explore what organizations often get wrong about Gen Z in the workplace.

Despite what you might have heard, Tara says Gen Z isn't rejecting leadership — they're just rethinking what leadership should look like. From flexibility and purpose to skill development and AI, she shares how organizations can better attract, develop, and retain emerging talent by creating more human-centered workplaces.

This conversation offers practical insight for leaders looking to build stronger cultures and prepare their organizations for the future of work. Listen to the conversation here.
