Is your department “generations-friendly?” ? ? ?

Multiple Generations in Your Department A quick quiz… To which of these statements can you answer “yes”

Assets, Motivators, and Rewards

AssetsMotivatorsRewards WWII Generation experience, dedication, stability, loyalty, maturity connect actions to the overall good of the department tangible symbols of loyalty, commitment and service (plaque, certificate) Baby Boomers service orientation, team perspective, experience, knowledge leaders who get them involved and show them how they can make a difference personal appreciation, promotion, and recognition Generation X adaptability, techno-literacy, creativity, willingness to buck system the ability to get the job done on their own schedule free time, upgraded resources, opportunities for development, resume building recognition Millennials optimism, collective action, ability to multi-task, tech savvy connecting actions to their personal and career goals awards, certificates, tangible evidence of credibility

Whatdrivesthemcrazyaboutmanagers?

WWII Generation Seem too touchy-feely, are indecisive, worry about making unpopular decisions, use profanity and slang, use experimental, trendy management style, are disorganized Baby Boomers Are not open to input, are bureaucratic, send a “my- way-or-the-highway” message, are brusque, don’t show interest, practice one-upsmanship Generation X Micro-manage, don’t walk the talk, spend too much time on process and too little on results, are flashy, are bureaucratic, schmooze Millennials Are cynical and sarcastic, treat them as if they are too young to be valuable, are threatened by their technical savvy, are condescending, and are inconsistent and disorganized

Is your department “generations-friendly?” The more statements that match behavior in your department, the more your department is likely to be “generations-friendly”?

Ideas / examples to share ???
