Leading a New Generation

We all work in a multigenerational workforce. With extremes in generations, skills are needed to foster understanding among staff. There are many myths and realities about the age-related generations. While there are challenges in working in a multigenerational workforce, the generational differences tend to be exaggerated while the similarities are overlooked. A better understanding of these generations allows us to prevent communication breakdown and to close the communication gaps where they exist, creating a unit of harmony rather that discontent.
