Developing GEN Y Managers To Manage The Baby Boomers
For the first time in history, four generations are working side-by-side in the workplace. The Gen X and Gen Y have matured and moved up the corporate ladder. They are now leading corporations and managing the Baby Boomers.
“Developing Gen Y Managers To Manage Baby Boomers” is an absolutely MUST for companies, managers and supervisors who want success and a collaborative and harmonious workplace!
It is information-packed, fun-filled and is a great seminar for younger managers to understand and manage the older employees. “Developing Gen Y Managers To Manage Baby Boomers” offers all younger managers tips and new ideas on motivating, communication and managing the older employees.
As people live longer and are working longer, either out of choice or necessity, there will be more different generations working together. The inevitable day has arrived when the Gen X and Gen Y have become the managers of the older employees. The older employees believe that they are the “old hands” and know “the rules”. To them, the younger managers have not been around long enough. On the other hand, the younger managers call “the rules” (of the Boomers) “old school”.
The competition for skills and talent is intense. The Boomers are an invaluable talent resource. Many have great experience and vast knowledge, if successfully harnessed, that will hone the company’s competitiveness in the global market place. Connecting with the older employees and managing them effectively is of paramount importance to all companies.
The younger manager’s task is made more difficult when managing older employees due to the differences in attitudes, values, beliefs and experience. Due to the former’s relative lack of experience, they find it more challenging to manage the Boomers whose mindset is “I am here longer and I know the rules.”
Companies need to train and develop the Gen Y managers to manage the Baby Boomers or lose out to its competitors that do.
In this seminar, you will learn how to enhance competitiveness by connecting with the Baby Boomers and managing them effectively.
