You have heard it in every meeting. The millennials want flexibility, the boomers resist change, Gen Z has no work ethic. It feels like useful shorthand for managing people. It is actually one of the fastest ways to misread your team and push your best people toward the door. Because birth year predicts almost nothing about how someone performs, and when you lead by the label instead of the person, the people who do not fit the stereotype stop feeling seen and start looking elsewhere. David Cohen, founder of DS Cohen and Associates and author of Selecting the Best, sits down with Lisa Urbanski to dismantle the generational myth and replace it with what actually drives performance. You will learn why generational labels backfire on the leaders who use them, the difference between traits and behaviors and which one actually predicts results, why life stage tells you far more than birth year ever will, how stereotyping quietly drives out top talent, and why trust and respect are not the same thing even though leaders treat them as interchangeable. Stop managing the decade someone was born in. Start managing the person in front of you.
