How different are the generations, really?
Everybody knows that the "generation gap" between younger and older people causes stress and frustration at work. Are the differences people complain about just a big misunderstanding, or are they real? And most important, how can you use similarities and differences among the generations to be a more effective leader within your organization?
Jennifer Deal explains what can be done to retire the generation gap. Based on seven years of research on more than 3,000 leaders, Retiring the Generation Gap reveals the truth about generational conflicts at work - and what you can do about them.
In this presentation, Jennifer Deal shares the myths and learning preferences of different generations which will be valuable to you as an individual, a manager, a coach, or an HR professional.
