Managing across the generations is challenging for many leaders, especially new ones. That’s why we love the insightful, tip-filled infographic below created by MidAmerica Nazarene University. First, it offers a look at different research-backed perceptions of Baby Boomers, Gen X and Millennials, and then it goes a step further and provides action-oriented tips you can use to bring these three diverse groups together to form a cohesive, highly productive team.
Check it out, and as you do, answer the following questions:
- If I were answering the survey questions, how would I respond (e.g., as a Millennial, do you believe you are more productive than your Boomer and Gen X coworkers?)?
- Am I perpetuating some of the negative stereotypes associated with my generation (e.g., as a Boomer, you avoid teamwork and prefer to work solo)?
- Are some of my preconceived notions about the other two generations affecting my relationships with people (e.g., as a leader, you typically assign technology-related projects to your youngest staff)?
