Part Two - Engaging the Four Generations: A Leader’s Guide

(Pre-requisite: Part One)

This is the first time we’ve had four different generations toiling together in the workplace, which adds complexity and stress to the leader’s life. The new challenge is equipping leaders to adapt their use of fundamental skills to the unique needs and characteristics of each generation. This session will enhance and expand the morning session with specifically designed activities for managers, keeping in mind their specific responsibilities. They will have the opportunity to discuss, practice, and apply what they have learned through guided help for application. We will explore how to best engage the workers in each group how to manage, mediate, and motivate in the multi-generational workplace.
