New research indicates most of Gen Z aren't aiming for leadership roles in their future careers.

An annual Deloitte survey says only six percent of Gen Z respondents stated they had leadership aspirations. 

Nelson's deputy mayor Rohan O'Neill Stevens is within the Gen Z age range - and he says this survey shows this group has different goals to their predecessors.

"When you look at the top scoring results there, it's things like maintaining a good work-life balance and achieving financial independence - which doesn't necessarily exclude leadership as a part of that."
