The Generational Challenge: Understanding working with multiple generations
Join us for our tele class The Generational Challenge: Understanding and working with multi generations. Presented by Jean Erickson Walker, Ed.D., CMF, Career Coach and Chair, ICC International.
Generational differences are nothing new. The older generation typically thinks young folks are slackers doomed to failure if they don't "shape up!" On the other hand, the young people consider the older generation old fogies out of touch.
So what's new? This is the first generational battle where roles and authority are ambiguous, where the boss is just as likely to be 32 as 52, and the technical expertise is most likely to lay under that backwards baseball cap. Unsettling, to say the least.
Are the generations on a collision course? Is there anything organizations can do to create more understanding and better communication, not to mention increased productivity?
It all begins with understanding the defining moments that forged each generation's values, goals, beliefs and interests. Creating an environment of mutual trust and respect is critical to engaging the talents and commitment of all the generations.
