Managing and Leading Across Generations

Choose the Right Message | Model Leadership Agility | Engage Audiences

Today’s workforce may be comprised of as many as four generations working side-by-side. Each generation has a unique mindset, work style and way of communicating. This being the case, leading and managing multigenerational teams has become essential to building a successful team. As you learn to communicate effectively and connect with others, differences can be viewed as healthy, exciting opportunities to collaborate.

Leading a team of diverse generations can be an incredibly rich and productive experience when you have the skills in place to capitalize on the strengths of each generation. This program provides insights and tools to help you turn the attitudes and skills each generation brings to the table into powerful performance drivers. You will learn the approaches that will most often help you lead members of each generation, resulting in an engaging and productive work environment for everyone.

Each generation brings a unique set of talents to the table. When a leader encourages team members to bridge the generations, embrace their differences and connect with one another, the result is a cohesive unit that prospers and accomplishes any task they are given. Managing across generations is an essential key in creating a team that puts ideas into actions.

We all have something to learn from those who came before us and those who came after us. As Charles Spurgeon said, “Every generation needs regeneration.” Each of us can build on the learnings of those who have lived longer and experienced more, and those who are new on the scene.
