Improving Intergenerational Communication and Leadership for Success in a Multigenerational World
Dr. Mark Taylor, President, Taylor Programs
Today’s workplaces, families and communities are an exciting, though not always harmonious, mixture of several generational cohorts. Successfully navigating, managing and leading requires being able to understand, relate to, and communicate with everyone, from each generational group. In the workplace, understanding typical generational values, traits, preferences and styles can improve recruitment, worker and workplace effectiveness, harmony and employee satisfaction and retention. This workshop will address the generational issues and dynamics with immediately applicable suggestions for being effective and developing the most productive, positive and effective intergenerational environment to facilitate everyone's success and happiness. Dr. Taylor will also introduce a leadership model designed to be most effective across the generational cohorts. |
