A 30-year-old manager in charge of employees who have worked in the same positions since he was still in diapers is not just a plot in a Hollywood comedy, its standard operating procedure at many companies across the nation.
Just as prevalent is a manager nearing retirement charged with leading a group of recent post-grads who are too inexperienced to even know they are inexperienced. Workplaces today are generational melting pots and knowing how to properly manage and motivate individuals with distinct experiences, values, and needs can mean the difference between a profitable company and one that fails to thrive. Never before has there been such a diversity of generations in the workforce as the Veterans (1922 – 1946), the Boomers (1946 – 1963), the Xers (1963 – 1980), and the Nexters (1980 – 2000) fill offices throughout the country.
