We are all working in multigenerational environments, and for many the differences in preference and perspective generate more friction and misunderstanding than productivity. Most conversations about generations at work turn to using labels, assumptions, and overconfidence about what a given generation "is like."

In this episode, we look at generational patterns as context, not conclusions, and investigate where they can help us connect and collaborate across generations and where they fall short. Collaboration gets easier when we stop leading with assumptions and start getting curious about the people we need to work with. We might have more in common that we realize.
