This book focuses on a frequently overlooked factor, the relationship between leadership and the loss of the under-thirty-fives. Younger adults are walking away from those institutions characterized by a culture of control and a style of delegation that is considered disempowering--the prevailing leadership style of those who are over forty (whether they are boomers or the previous two generations...). Their concept of leadership and management most commonly follows the acronym PLOC (Plan, Lead, Organize and Control). That older style of leadership might have worked --more or less--in a cultural context where information was restricted and privileged, circumstances to a large degree were predictable and change was orderly. These conditions no longer exist.
