For those of you who are successful entrepreneurs or small businesses with a workforce, how has the "old school" managing styles held up with the new generations where the thought process and values seem to be different?

I definitely think values are different. But I notice that young employees still respond best to strong management styles and clear expectations and consequences. I think they just need to feel heard too. Gone are the days of abusive managers (which is a good thing) but I don't think being soft about everything is the right way to handle the Gen Z workforce either.

Do you see a difference in work ethics? Where you have to work hard to succeed vs. Qqquitting when something doesn't go their way as quickly as they would like?

I think transparency is valued more than we think. “Because I said so” definitely doesn’t work. Assumed respect because of age/status isn’t a thing. If you’re open and honest about what the job is, why they should stick it out, why a process is the way it is, and you yourself remain open to ideas - that will go a long way.

I agree my friend, it’s not exactly the best like before however podcasts are much more function and affordable.

Do you have any favorites?

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well. I am able to pay the bills with my hourly defense work, which gives me time to focus on a handful of high value PI case a year on contingency. I was recently negotiating a case and was told part of the reason the claims rep/OC was jerking me around was because they didn’t see me as a plaintiffs attorney. Is there any way to change this perception or does it just come over time?

Obesity is a chronic disease not a choice and it should be treated as such.
By both “body positivity” challengers who too often say obesity comes from laziness and lack of strong will and by obese people who also too often shield themselves stating “this is how I am, it is impossible to change it” when in fact they do not want to accept that fat is literally killing them.
Thoughts?

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken). My idea is to start my own small brewery which only produces alcohol free beer as a bit of a pendant to the booming local craft beer industry. Any thoughts on that idea or someone who has experience in the market?

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
