Description

We are in an unprecedented time right now where there are 5 different generations in the workforce. As a people leader, how can you effectively manage that wide spread of ages and background, keeping them motivated, engaged and productive?

My special guest today is author Dana Dillard and she’s simplifying how to manage 5 different generations at work. From 18 to those in their 80s, here’s the definitive source on how to manage anyone on your team by having a better understanding of what they’ve gone through (generationally) and how they view their work.

Here’s how. 

My special guest today is Dana Dillard and she’s simplifying how to manage 5 different generations at work.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

  • First, she defines each of the 5 generations: their age ranges and distinct qualities typically found in each generation currently in the workforce.

  • With 11,400 Baby Boomers retiring every single day in the US, she gives advice on succession planning for those who remain and career planning for those who exit.

  • How each of the 5 generations prefer to give and receive effective communications and how often.

  • What the very best ways are to reward and acknowledge the accomplishments of each of the 5 generations.

  • When assigning projects, what you should keep in mind with each generational worker.
