UNDERSTANDING GENERATIONAL DIVERSITY

Examples of generational diversity “gone wrong” populate every kind of media currently available today, from newspapers and prime-time evening news to memes and TikTok. Challenges related to generational diversity, while a popular topic of workplace training today, even date back to the time of Socrates, who, in his own words, criticized “O youth.” Mainstream analysis and humor may be our most obvious reference to generational diversity, but the workplace is where most of us have our most pervasive experiences with generational diversity.
