Looking for the Right Business Partner? Try a Different Generation. Here's Why.

Amy Lynch is advisor to 4GenNow, a powerful hub for connecting intergenerational entrepreneurs. Learn more at 4GenNow.com, and attend the summit in Denver this October.   I was in a meeting a few years ago when two Gen Xers said the same thing at the same time. Both instantly yelled “jinx” and started laughing. The Boomers in the room rolled their eyes. The Millennials thought it was cute. That moment was a window into how similar generations can be. If you and I are from ... Read More

So, Where's the Wisdom?

Recently at a 4GenNow Conference, I heard Nick Titus, a 17-year-old company founder and CEO, say "If you will listent to me, then I will listen to you. But this has to go both ways."  Suddenly I had a lightbulb moment. For years I’ve shown the image above to audiences and asked, “Where is the information?” This gets people talking about top-down communication vs collaboration.  But as Titus spoke, I realized that I’v...

What Will Happen Next? The Answer Is WHO.

I can totally relate to the jumper above. Entering 2018 feels like making a crazy leap into an unknown future where things keep changing fast. Disruption is the new normal. Maybe like me you often wonder what will happen next. If so, there's good news. The question that unlocks the future is not “What will happen next?” Ask instead, “WHO will happen next?” Who is positioned to bring new and timely innovation to your company? Who is reshaping market tastes... Read More

Can a Company Have Gen IQ? Sure It Can. (Or, Why Nobody Got Fired.)

The Boomer president of a law firm was concerned about young attorneys who dressed more casually than he thought appropriate. So he sent an email to everybody saying that he wanted all attorneys in suits during client meetings. One Millennial attorney didn’t agree. He gave the email some thought and decided to respond. He wrote, “I have a lot of young clients. A suit may not be the right move when meeting with them.” He carefully constructed his arguments for going casual. ... Read More

Innovation: Part of the Job

No matter where you look, innovation is transforming old, overwhelmed systems. No industry is like it was 5 years ago. Online shopping disrupts store-front retail. Online degrees disrupt campus-based education. Newspapers are failing, and Twitter is growing. Entrepreneurs crowdsource their start-ups, seek gigs rather than careers, and use Uber rather than buy a cars.   No More Status Quo This fits with generational cycles. Every 80 years or so, we go through a period of massive di... 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

Innovation is Generational

Your definition of innovation depends on your generation.  Silents The Silent Generation went to work right after World War II when innovation included things like penicillin, radar, rockets and rubber. These products were developed in labs. After the war, companies kept on funding their Research and Development (R&D) labs and the engineers and scientists who worked there. For Silents, innovation came from the lab, and the lab was separate from the rest of the company. Coming... Read More
