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 all-star 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 all-star 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.

  • …and ultimately, what you can do with this information to bring together the 5 generations at your organization.

Q: Are you ready to learn how to manage 5 different generations at work? If yes, this one is for you.

It's time to #DoTheThing!
