Teaching. Coaching. Managing. Mentoring. Service. Leadership is all about helping others stretch to achieve their potential. It involves tough decisions. Honest conversations. Effective communication. Meaningful relationships. Confidence. Trust. Commitment.

The Generations at Work
The Millenials dominate this conversation. For good reason. They are about twice the size of the previous generation and coming of age in a time of accelerated transformation and technological change. They bring a whole new set of expectations about an evolved work experience that is simply going to require organizations to advance work style design.

That is part of the story. Ironically, Generation X is incredibly suited to this new world of work. Ferociously independent, adaptive, creative and resourceful, we are prepared to lead through a time of disruptive change. We also like to invent and don’t expect anyone to take care of us. We realized quite some time ago that we would be responsible for our own career trajectory and wouldn’t be relying on a company to mange that for us.

There is increasing impetus for the organization and its leadership to improve communication and connect with employees on a personal level across every generation. Employees increasingly want a voice in their work style design. The enclosed interview before our keynote on the Generations at Work sheds some light on a managing a workforce where the ideas, expectations, attitude and opinions of 4 distinct generations are intersecting and creating natural conflict and challenge:

Relationships

A wise person recently shared with me that success in life is really about the quality of the relationships you have with the people you care about. I couldn't agree more.
