Suzy Welch on how Generation Z yearns for stability

Many of my [business] students say they feel as if they’re at their limits.  “You’re always hearing the world is filled with opportunity,” one student told me last semester.  “And then you turn around and there are layoffs everywhere, and everyone is saying AI is going to make us all obsolete.”  She confessed there were days she wished she could crawl under her covers to escape the static and ambiguity of it all, not to mention—as she also did—the threats of global warming and nuclear war.  Such is the Gen Z zeitgeist, I suspect, that suddenly makes stability so sexy.
