Leading Across the Generations from Baby Boomers to Gen Z
Manage episode 428452687 series 2864480
Jeannette looks at the complexities of leading across multiple generations in the workplace, exploring the characteristics, values, and perspectives of five distinct generations: traditionalists, baby boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Gen Z.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Each generation, from traditionalists to Gen Z, has unique perspectives, values, and work styles shaped by the era they grew up in.
- Leaders can leverage the diverse experiences and knowledge of different generations within their teams to foster a culture of continuous learning and development.
- To lead across multiple generations, it is crucial to bridge the gap between them, find common ground, and promote values such as respect, trust, and psychological safety.
- Leaders should prioritise well-being, communication, and flexibility to cater to the varying needs and preferences of different generations in the workforce.
BEST MOMENTS
"Each of those different generations will have different perspectives, they were brought up in different times and they will have different values as well."
“In to bring the best out in our people, in our teams, and really create a high-performing environment, we need to understand the people that we work with."
"So, as a leader, how can you make sure you're engaging with all of these different generations? And you'll have that mix, most likely, on your team."
"You've got to be able to bridge the gap, right? between these different generations, find common ground to bring the team together."
