NOT UNDERSTANDING GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES – ATTITUDES AND MOTIVATIONS
For the first time in human history, there are 3 generations working together: The Baby Boomers, The Generation Xers, and here comes the Millennials. Each of the three generations has different views about the world and how one should be involved in the work force. Baby Boomers are optimistic and competitive, Generation Xer’s are skeptical and very independent, and Millennials have high technical skills and a whole new way to be social. The only way to get all 3 generations engaged and on the same page is to build a collaborative organizational culture. The world is now about attracting and keeping human talent.
Without Millennials in your organization you can’t understand the largest audience in the country.
Anna Liotta writes extensively about generational values and working styles in her book Unlocking Generational Codes, and I’ve included some of her thoughts in this post, please follow the link for more information.
