The Challenge of Single CEOs Raising the “Glass Generation”

In a corporate world that demands results and quick decisions, leaders face a personal and professional challenge that is rarely discussed: balancing the management of companies with raising children who belong to the so-called “Glass Generation.” Nuria GC

For CEOs who are also single or divorced parents, this combination might feel overwhelming. But what if I told you that this challenge holds the opportunity to become the most authentic and transformative leader of your life?

The Glass Generation:

Fragility or Hidden Strength?

This generation, characterized by high emotional sensitivity and a focus on mental well-being, is often mislabeled as fragile. However, children from this era have a unique ability to detect inconsistencies and lead with their hearts. As a corporate leader, are you leveraging this sensitivity to teach resilience and authenticity at home, just as you do in your company?

The key lies in leading by example while mastering the art of listening. Conscious parenting with this generation allows you to discover new ways of communication, connection, and leadership that can transform not just your home but also your corporate leadership style.

The Triple Challenge of a Single CEO

1. Limited time, infinite priorities: Managing board meetings while attending school events may seem incompatible, but this is where strategic balance comes into play.
2. Intergenerational communication: How do you discuss corporate challenges with someone who values well-being over results?
3. Self-care amid the chaos: Being present for your team and your children can leave little time for yourself. However, the strongest leader is one who knows how to recharge.

Three Lessons to Integrate Life and Leadership

1. Turn obstacles into opportunities: Your role as a parent can be the perfect laboratory to innovate your leadership skills.
2. Lead with empathy and vulnerability: Sharing your struggles and lessons, both at home and work, strengthens relationships and inspires genuine respect.
3. Build strong support systems: No CEO leads alone, and no parent should either. Learn to delegate and build teams in both your professional and personal life.
