016: Cultivating a "Whatever It Takes" Team Culture Across Generations

In this episode of Generations at Work, hosts Susan Davis and Dr. Tim Elmore explore how teams can cultivate a “whatever it takes” attitude across all generations in the workplace. Drawing on research, focus groups, and personal anecdotes, Dr. Elmore unpacks the roots of generational differences in work ethic, loyalty, and commitment—debunking common myths about Gen Z along the way. The conversation highlights the importance of moving beyond stereotypes, building trust, and fostering relationships centered on people rather than institutions. Amongst a shifting professional atmosphere, Dr. Elmore offers practical leadership strategies and memorable metaphors—such as the “second mile” and the story of the Waldorf Principle—to empower leaders and teams to bridge generational gaps and create cultures of commitment and accountability. Listeners walk away with actionable insights for motivating every generation to not just do their job, but to go above and beyond together.
