We’ve got another gem-filled episode for you on the Montgomery Companies Podcast! This time, we’re featuring Dr. Tim Elmore, an author of more than 35 books and subject matter expert in dealing with generational gaps in the workplace. Founder and CEO of Growing Leaders, Tim has worked with leaders across the world and has appeared on some of the biggest leadership podcasts, as well as in the Wallstreet Journal, Washington Post, USA Today, Psychology Today, CNN’s headline news, and Fox and Friends. Most importantly, Tim is a master of practical application – his work doesn’t just make you feel good, it creates change and drives results.

In this episode we discuss Tim’s work on his most recent book – A New Kind of Diversity – and how YOU can utilize the different generations on your team to create a competitive advantage. It’s no secret in today’s world that the generational gap has become something more along the lines of a gigantic chasm. But what if, rather than simply tolerating each other, we did the hard work of getting to know and understand each other, leveraging the strengths of each generation as they serve on our team? Just like where you grow up can affect who you become, when you grow up can affect you just as much, creating different customs, values, and languages within each generation. When we take strides to understand the narrative and paradigms that each generation moves through their life with, it can inform our leadership and connection in unimaginable ways.

Join us for a game-changing conversation on how to stop colliding with – and start collaborating with – each different generation on your team. We’ll discuss each of the 5 generations in existence today, from the Builders to the Boomers, the X’ers to the Z’ers, and commonly shared strengths and weaknesses across each generation. We zero in on the importance of emotional intelligence and humility, learning together how to speak as if you know you are right, and listen as if you know you are wrong. Finally, find out how to create an MVP team composed of Modern Elders and Young Geniuses by implementing “ditch the niche” and “reverse mentoring” techniques in your workplace, community, or home.

This is a must-listen episode for anyone facing the growing pains of a company or organization (or family!) that spans generations.
