  • Why Generation X Has the Leaders We Need Now – Tammy Erickson – HarvardBusiness.org – “You will have the opportunity to change the corporate template, and create organizations that are more conducive to your values. As leaders, you will be able to reshape the organizations you lead to make them better places for future generations and yourselves, make them more humane, and break the cultural norms of corporate life — long hours, a focus on full-time work, heterogeneous perspectives, and language of combat. You will bring your desire to create better alternatives, including how to balance work with commitments beyond the corporation and finding meaning in work. Most importantly, your preference for “alternative” and your inclination to innovate will allow you to look for a different way forward.”
