249: Creative Ways to Zap the Generational Gap at Work with Meagan Johnson


Listen Later

Working with a team of different generations can be a challenge, but it also brings awesome opportunities for growth and innovation. Curious how to make it work? This week’s guest has the answers.

Meagan Johnson is a nationally recognized multi-generational expert who has been studying and speaking about generations since 1997! Meagan focuses on fostering collaboration across generations, avoiding stereotypes, and understanding what drives each generation to succeed.

Some of the things you'll hear are:

1.) How she decided to stop being miserable at her jobs and instead, focus on something that fascinated her

2.) The biggest thing people got wrong about Millenials

3.) A super creative way one leader is incentivising employees to form bonds and relationships (and no, it's not forcing them into the office)

4.) What a "Stay Interview" is and how one company threw out annual reviews and replaced it with this instead

5.) Why you need to stop saying "I'm too busy" and what to say (and think) instead

  • "We always assume that Baby Boomers are always going to be there, but they're not, professionally or personally. It's important that we ask them, talk to them about what they've learned, and what they've done professionally."

  • "Gen X is a very independent generation. We really brought working from home into the limelight, making it more acceptable and recognized as legitimate work."

  • “Millennials helped us make that transition of technology becoming part of our work and our personal life.”

  • "Gen Z is going to help us with AI, just like millennials helped us with that social media transition. AI is going to help take the tasks that our talented people don't need to waste their time on and let them spend their time on stuff that's important."
