One of the loudest conversations currently taking place in Leadership and Performance Improvement space is- how to deal with different generations in the workforce, especially Millennials.
Thirteen years of PPI experience working with tens of thousands of workers and their leaders around the globe have validated that all human beings have a core set of intrinsic characteristics- whether born in 1925 or 2001 (or anywhere in between).
The Millennial Generation has received a great deal of ‘press’ because (1) it is the largest generation ever, and (2) the ‘worldview’ of the members of this generation can be quite different from the Traditionalists, Boomers, and Xers.
Taking what in many organizations is four generations of workers and attempting to achieve a “one team” approach has proven a great challenge to many. This is because of an acute focus on differences and the “sticking points” they create.
When the focus is placed on the intrinsic elements of what makes us “human”, these differences can be a blessing rather than a curse.
