The New Diversity — Engaging the Generational Workforce
The workplace is filled with significant generational differences and associated challenges between Traditionalists, Boomers, Generation X-ers, and the newest group – the Millennials. The Millennials are the generation born between 1982 and 2000 that were formed by attentive, helicopter parents, schools that propagate high self-esteem, and an ingrained comfort with dependency on technology. Each generation learns, values, thinks, develops differently and must be led differently. Yet each generation has common ground which managers can leverage and build on. In this presentation, Jason Young encourages leaders not to judge but to coach and mange each generational group with intentionality. Jason explains how to manage the various generations in a way that helps create and sustain a high performance workplace.
