THERE ARE FIVE GENERATIONS IN TODAY’S WORKFORCE. ARE YOU READY TO LEAD THEM ALL?

For the first time in our nation’s history, we have five generations collaborating together in the same workforce. This convergence presents stunning opportunities for innovation with so many different perspectives together under one roof. But it also reveals significant challenges in communication, engagement and, most importantly, leadership. One of the core principles of our beliefs is that we need to lead people the way they need to be led.

To truly connect with the people on your team, you need to meet them where they are before you can take them somewhere new. That means you need to understand the unique motives and values of each generation. If you’re not intentional about learning and understanding these differences, you’re going to lose influence with your team. Disengagement is a direct response to a leader’s disinterest—and that’s something no leader can afford when leading across generations.

To help you find common ground, here is a quick overview of the five generations, what makes them tick, and how you can meet each generation in a place they understand and appreciate.
