Leading through generations

Abstract

With employees that belong to Generation Y and Generation Z making up over half of the workplace, there is high demand for employers to learn how to communicate and maximize the strengths of these individuals. Each generation has been shaped by the time period they grew up in, which formed distinct values and behaviors that differ from each other. When leveraged using effective management practices, employers can create a synergistic culture where both Baby Boomers and Millennials can thrive.
