You've heard the terms Generation X and
Generation Y. There are plenty of stereotypes
associated with each term. Yet when you're responsible for leading
a team that spans generations, it's easy to struggle with
challenges that vary from attention spans to how to best motivate
and recognize accomplishment.
Or maybe you are working for a younger boss. He or
she is the age of one of your adult kids! What are some ideas to
keep in mind to help you manage your younger boss?
When I'm looking for
insights into leading across generations, I turn to one of the
foremost experts on young people in the workplace: Bruce Tulgan.
Bruce is the author of Not Everyone Gets a Trophy: How to Manage
Generation Y. You'll find my interview with Bruce in this cast
helpful as you seek to lead today's workforce.
Click here to order Not Everyone Gets a Trophy on Amazon.com. Also,
I invite you to check out Bruce's organization: Rainmaker
Thinking. I enjoy getting Bruce's video newsletter each week
and recommend it to you and your team.
In our last cast I announced a drawing for two copies of Phil
Simon's book Why New Systems Fail. The two winners
are Renee Klivickis and Bob Sims! Congratulations to you both!
