We all know the drill - every new generation that enters the workforce seems to come with its own unique set of quirks and challenges. And the perennial question that plagues managers and leaders everywhere is: how do we effectively lead and inspire these youngsters?
We're diving headfirst into this age-old dilemma. Our guest, Vivek Iyyani, Director, Millennial Minds, an expert on cross-generational leadership, will peel back the stereotypes and share fresh insight from his research on how different generations view the workplace. Spoiler alert: the challenges may be less about them and more about us. What can managers do to bridge perceived "gaps"?
We'll also talk about how technology has changed expectations on both sides - and why it's so important for leaders to meet people where they are. There may be truths to the rumors of "ghosting" and "blue tick anxiety" after all. And of course, we'll share practical strategies and insights to help you navigate this tricky terrain.
Tune in as we explore how to foster understanding between generations instead of letting biases rule the day. You might be surprised what you - and your younger colleagues - have in common. This is one episode guaranteed to make you see cross-generational dynamics in a whole new light.
