ReGenerations: Why Connecting Generations Matters (And How To Do It)

Do some people in the office just leave you shaking your head? Like that new hire who comes to work late, with a smartphone and Starbucks latte in hand, wearing yoga pants that look like pajamas? Or maybe its that colleague who shuts you down every time you have an idea or question. The root of these conflicts may lie in an overlooked issue: generational differences. The fast pace of change in American society over the last century means that each generation has grown up in a vastly different world, resulting in social and cultural distinctions that we dont always recognize. These differences are reflected in a spectrum of attitudes, communication styles, and expectations in the workplace that can lead to conflict even when everyone means well. What is the solution? In ReGenerations, Jessica Stollings takes a high-level view of the four generations that make up the current American workforce, and puts it together with the best information available on what makes each generation tick and how that information can be used to build greater understanding and stronger organizations. If you want to get the most out of your multi-generational workforce and build a more positive culture in the office ReGenerations is for you.
