    Samuel warns that Gen Z's preference for work-life balance over leadership roles threatens economies with slow productivity growth. However, he notes Gen Z's value-driven nature may boost self-employment and freelance culture. To counteract leadership gaps, companies should prioritize internal growth, upskilling, and employee happiness, fostering a culture that values creativity and curiosity.
