Generation-X & Millennials

Generation-X & Millennials, together in today's workplace
We need them BOTH!
As a mature, Generation-X Leader, I recently attended a workshop on The Next Generation of Leaders: maximising the potential of Generation Y/Millennials.
Given that Millennials/Gen Y – aged between 19 and 35 – are the future of performance and leadership in the UK, and the rest of the world, they are having a major impact on the workforce. Circa 50% of Millennials/Gen Y are digital natives and – until the arrival of Generation Z – they are the most mobile workforce in the world today. It was great to learn and appreciate the characteristics and how we all contribute and deliver additional value to our organisations.
With three generations now in the workplace at the same time – each with their own unique set of widely differing values and behaviours – for any business to thrive, it’s crucial for business leaders to create harmony and understanding between and across the generations.
As a complete 007 fan, this short video clip
so eloquently summarises how Gen-X & Millennials are BOTH so important in today's workplace.

It can be a lonely place as a business leader. Don’t be alone. Reach out to others for support. You will be glad you did!
Give me a shout. I am here.

Success in business is measured by a variety of different attributes. Success can mean hitting a specific profit margin or any number of other performance goals. But no matter how you measure success within your business, you need the right people to help you achieve those goals. At one time, the notion of success was dedicated to the idea that you had to have a sole leader in position to drive the team to their goals. However, this notion is no longer an option for most businesses.
