Leading and Engaging Talent Across the Generations

Summary: Being a leader in today’s generationally diverse workplace is more complicated than ever before. Managers and leaders are being required to increase greater employee engagement using new tools to connect and collaborate to bridge the generational gap. Factors such as rapidly changing technology, an uncertain economy, mergers, closings, and layoffs have made today’s workplace even more challenging to lead. The attitudes of the generations vary from how they value loyalty, want to be rewarded, to staying on the cutting edge of technology. While some organizations are trying to figure out which generation’s way of leading is best, when in reality there is no cookie cutter solution - no generation is better or worse, they’re just different. This episode features the Generational Guru who helps organizations identify the obstacles and opportunities for leadership within each generation and understand the potential impact everyone can make as a leader.
