S5 E10: Slaying Stereotypes: Managing 5 Generations in the Workforce with Dave Garcia


Listen Later

In every generation, there’s a “chosen one”—but I’m not talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer.


Right now, we’ve got five generations working side by side: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. So yeah, managing this mix isn’t exactly a walk in the park. 


This week, Dave Garcia has returned to dive into the wild world of multi-generational workforces and bring some clarity to it all. 


We’re busting some myths, breaking down what each generation really wants (spoiler: it’s not all about avocado toast), and exploring how to lead a team that spans decades. 


Whether you’re trying to figure out how to get everyone on the same page or just curious about which generation started the job-hopping trend, this episode is packed with insights.
