Testimonials
In my research on leadership engagement and communication, I learned about a new problem facing corporate America that began in 2011 when we had four generations in the workforce. They are the Great Generation, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y (Millennials). Each of them with different characteristics, behaviors, beliefs, work ethics and ways of communicating. While the Great Generation is 99.9% retired, 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 every day for the next 13 years, and generation Z (born in the late 1990’s) will enter the workforce by the end of this decade.
Millennial leaders must be ready to optimize these four generational skills and talents, and the challenge they pose of integrating newer workers while still respecting the seniority and experience of older ones. I felt this situation is a necessary learning component under the umbrella of communication, engagement and team building, so in 2015 I designed a presentation called, Understanding the Four Generations in the Workforce.
These are some of the testimonials from that presentation.
