When Generations Collide:
How to Solve the Generational Puzzle at Work
Generational collisions are among the key management issues being faced by leaders of today's A/E/C firms. Because people are living and working longer, this is the first time in history that four generations are likely to find themselves looking at one another across the same conference table.
Join MAS as we learn how these generational differences can enhance rather than harm our organizations. Companies that learn to take advantage of the generation gaps, not simply manage or endure them, are likely to become "employers of choice" in the future. These firms are also more likely to have successful relationships and coordination on projects.
Attendees will understand and learn to communicate more effectively with all four generations in the workplace today; Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, Generation X, and Millennials. Recognize the stereotypes that prevent us from understanding a different generation. Identify "clashpoints" that cause dissatisfaction and attrition.
Learning Objectives:
- Discover how generational differences impact work habits, communication styles, and motivation.
- Understand and appreciate the strengths of each generation
- Minimize conflict and strengthen collaboration among the generations
- Learn how to harness generational differences to improve teamwork, innovation, and results.
