Leader Exchange: Navigating a Multigenerational Workforce

Who Are the Generations?

There’s no question that each generation brings a unique perspective into the workplace. Whether it’s embracing emojis in communication, asking for efficiency in meetings, establishing clarity through hierarchy, or demanding more flexible schedules… every generation has left its mark. 

Unfortunately, lack of generational awareness can make it easy for workplace dynamics to sour. Rather than seeking to understand, we start to point fingers. Communication and collaboration suffer, engagement dips, and leaders find themselves asking “what can I do to keep everyone happy?”

This presentation takes a closer look at each generation to create a deeper understanding of why we all behave the way we do. Through this lens you’ll be able to improve connection across generational divides.

Key Takeaways

• Decrypt every generation’s formative years, and how those years inform distinct generational identities
• Identify the most prevalent areas for disconnect across generations 
• Gain strategies to ease intergenerational tension
• Learn how to encourage collaboration and reverse-mentorship
