Purpose:

The Botswana workforce today is more diverse than ever, with Baby Boomers, Generation X,

Millennials, and Generation Z working side by side (TriNet,2023) Each group has distinct

motivations and communication preferences. While older generations may value loyalty,

structure, and authority, younger employees increasingly demand purpose, empowerment, and

autonomy (HR Future,2023).

Traditional management approaches no longer resonate, resulting in disengagement, burnout,

and higher attrition when leaders fail to adapt.
