Managing Gen Z employees feels like speaking different languages – anyone else?

Real talk: The leadership style that got me here isn't connecting with my younger team members. It's like we're having conversations in different languages, even though we're both speaking English.

They want different communication styles, different motivators, different everything. Meanwhile, I don't want to completely abandon what's worked for years.

How are you bridging this gap without compromising your leadership style OR their expectations? Looking for practical solutions, not just 'adapt or die' advice.
