Leading Multiple Generations

Book—A New Kind of Diversity

“Mind the Gap” is a common phrase used when boarding trains. But there is a huge gap that many workplaces struggle to close: it’s the generation gap. Boomer faculty differ from Gen Z faculty members, and both may struggle to understand their students. Today’s campus has four to five generations working together and far too often, we collide instead of collaborate. Frequently, we stereotype, taking mental shortcuts with young or old teammates. This event explores the characteristics of each generation at work today and how to leverage each of their strengths to be your competitive advantage. Based on Tim’s book on the subject, the session offers practical strategies to bring out the best in each generation.
