Their management style is much more based on inspiration than ordering. They empathize and understand what motivates their team members. Their teams are highly motivated and work together as a cohesive unit to hit their deadlines. This happens because they build an environment where their team members care about ewch other on a personal level, and go the extra kilometer because of it. Work from home goes smoothly for them too because of this.
It is the old school "do what I say because I am the boss" managers are the ones in trouble. The younger generations just do not respond to that style. And workplace changes like work from home broke a lot of their ability to force their will onto their team. Their teams do not work together and help each other out, they act like a group of individuals who only care about their assigned tasks and metrics.

I am sorry but this is insane to me. First, I am not sure which side of the argument I am supposed to be on being in my early 40's but I have spent the past 20 years being managed by many Boomers who managed in that "new style" you seem to credit with the new generations. I have never met a single manager who was a do what I say because I am manager.
Seems like a lot of millenials here wanting to credit themselves and their peers for being great managers by making BS generalizations about "boomers" that aren't really true at all.
Perhaps all this does is out me as an out of touch "Boomer" but I am not sure why experience and knowledge are bad things while just having a pulse and #### for brains means you should get an equal spot at the table.
