If you're a young professional waiting for someone to tell you what to do next, this episode is your wake-up call. David, Phillip, and Jon tackle the skill employers say is missing most in young hires: initiative. A recent survey of nearly 1,000 U.S. business leaders found that the top complaint about young professionals is a lack of motivation and initiative, and a growing number of hiring managers are choosing to skip recent graduates entirely. We break down what initiative really means using a simple framework: Awareness, Action, and Ownership. We also get honest about why Gen Z may struggle here and what both employees and leaders can do about it. This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Next week, we give you the playbook. We begin to give you a roadmap for building the initiative that employers are actively looking for.
