On this episode of Leadership & Motivation Unleashed, we're here to talk about intergenerational dynamics. 

Currently, there are four different generations in the workforce - baby boomers, Gen X, millennials, and Gen Z. People who grew up in different generations have different life experiences, perspectives, and approaches to work. When you put everyone together in the workplace, there's bound to be some friction and lack of understanding.

We’re exploring both the challenges and the value of bringing different generations together at work. Tune in because this is a juicy topic!

Notable Quotes from Intergenerational Dynamics at Work:

“ We forget that different people have different experiences and different things to offer based on how long they've lived on the planet.” - Rachel Book

“  Whether they're older, younger, if they look different than you, talk different than you, doesn't mean their brain is different than you. We all bleed red. We all have wisdom if we're allowed to unleash it.” - Patrick Law
