What It Is
Elmore leans heavily on the responsibility of mentors and leaders in helping young adults. His purpose is “furnishing the tools for you to offer life giving leadership.”[1] Generation Z Unfiltered is not a primer for church ministry, nor a detailed rubric of what a young adult ministry should do to be effective. It is a book on understanding trends in Generation Z and how they need solid leadership. Tools and tips are provided to help young adult leaders know how to best lead these young adults.
How We Used It
This book is great for leaders to go through together to learn about Generation Z.
What We Like
The strength of this resource is in the specific guidance Elmore has for the individual challenges. What sets this resource apart from others mentioned it its focus on leadership dynamics and the heart and mind of young adult leaders. The intentional decision to embrace a generation and guide them to self-confidence without dictating the outcome is the passion of Elmore.
What Could Be Better
Elmore at times seems to indicate it is outside mentoring that will save the day for young adults. While I tend to agree, some of our young adults didn’t like the tone. Elmore has spent years working with the John Maxwell leadership organization, and therefore, sees the importance and value of leadership. This is an asset and possibly a liability. It will be interesting to see if leadership principles essential to boomers and Generation X translate into the same kind of collective ethos in Generation Z. Overall I highly recommend this great book!
