5 Things You Didn't Know About Gen Z

1. That’s not their real name.  The Z thing is basically a placeholder. As Zers go to work and show what they’re made of, a definitive name will emerge. But for now they (and we) have to put up with an annoying rage of names--IGens, Centennials, Plurals, Globals, 21st ers, Founders, etc. In the long term, put your money on Homelanders or on GenEdge, for a gen born on the edge of change. 2. Born to pinch and swipe.   Zs prefer to use 5 screens when multitasking. The... Read More

Gen X Execs. Are You the New Black?

Gen X CEOs are trending, and we’re not just talking start-ups and tech companies. Stalwarts like McDonalds, Harley-Davidson and 21st Century Fox recently put Xers in charge. As the “gray ceiling” in the C-Suite cracks and Boomers pass the baton, corporate culture will change.  Here's how. Relatable Leaders? Thank Mom. Gen X leaders are proving less autocratic and more relational in their management styles. If that suits you, thank their working moms. New s... Read More

Is It Time to Manage Millennials Differently?

Want Loyalty? Manage Collaboratively. Boomers expected to be loyal to the company first. The boss was just part of the package. Millennials have turned that on its head. Millennials are loyal to collaborative bosses. The company is just part of the package.  Studies across multiple industries all reveal the same evidence—the primary element making Millennials happy in their jobs is a supportive supervisor. And the primary element that makes them disengage and walk is an unsuppo... Read More

Generations and the Workday. Who owns your time?

Have you seen the new Hyundai ad about the guy who (GASP!) leaves work on time? “When did leaving work on time because an act of courage?” the voiceover asks. The answer is somewhere around 1973, the year of the first oil embargo. Until then, the US economy had enjoyed a 20-year run of steady growth. In that economy, just doing your job was enough. That bought you a house, a pension, health insurance, relative security. But then the price of a barre... Read More

Why Your Boss is Younger Than You

In traditional corporate models, age and experience were major players. Your boss was your senior. That was the norm. Now that’s changing. For nearly 20 years, digital skills have upended the old model bit by bit.  In a digital economy, change happens faster. New challenges demand new solutions and new skills. Experience and seniority tend to matter less, competency and agility more. The generational layer cake breaks down even further on project teams where older employees oft... Read More

Why a Generations Keynote?

“Why would I come to your generations keynote?” a friend asked me. “I already know I’m a Boomer, so what’s the point?” I considered my friend—a successful realtor, energetic, all over FaceBook and Twitter. “Is there an age group you just don’t like as clients?” I asked. “I like everybody,” she said. Then she paused. “But there’s this thing some people do that drives me crazy.” She went on to desc... Read More

What's in a Name? Gen Edge

Move over Millennials. There's a new kid in town. Recently demographers and gen theorists documented a clear shift---distinct behaviors and attitudes that signaled the start of a new generation. Technology plays a role here. For people 19 and under, digital relationships and multi-tasking on five screens at once are the norm. In fact, many of them were read "Goodnight IPad" rather than "Goodnight Moon" at bedtime. Now the question -- what to call this new... Read More
