In this inaugural episode of Generations at Work, Susan Davis and Dr. Tim Elmore embark on a comprehensive exploration of the diverse generations present in today's workforce and strategies to bridge generational gaps for enhanced productivity. Dr. Elmore traces his journey studying generational diversity starting from the 1980s, introducing terms like "Baby Buster" and "Generation X." Together, Susan and Tim discuss how historical contexts and technological advancements have widened generational gaps, especially as screens have become private rather than public. They underscore the importance of empathy and understanding, using examples like reverse mentoring and the innovative leadership approach of Angela Arentz at Burberry. The episode is rich with insights on collaborative leadership, the need to adapt to different generational perspectives, and concrete advice for leaders striving to foster inclusive and dynamic workplaces across generations.
