A generational shift is changing the dynamics of the workplace. Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Gen Y are bringing their expectations, communication styles, and ideals to work and tensions are rising. Business leaders realize that they need to figure out how to get the generations to work together. In Work with Me, Debra Magnuson and Lora Alexander apply a generational lens to challenges of attracting, engaging, and retaining talent. Focusing on four areas of common ground flexibility, respect, development, and coaching they provide practical actions to help leaders positively address generational issues in their companies.
