In today’s workplace, it’s not uncommon to have four – even five – generations working side by side. From Baby Boomers to Gen Z, each brings different values, communication styles, and expectations. But while many leaders see this mix as a challenge, the real opportunity lies in how we bridge understanding across generations.
In this episode, unpack the psychology and sociology behind generational differences – exploring how each group was shaped by its time and what that means for how they show up at work. Learn practical ways leaders can flex communication styles, recognise bias, and turn age diversity into one of their greatest strengths.
You’ll walk away understanding:
The core characteristics of each generation – and where they come from
Common generational biases to avoid
How to create trust, engagement, and innovation across ages
Leadership practices that unite rather than divide
Because great leadership isn’t about treating everyone the same, it’s about treating everyone as if they matter.
