Earlier this week at the 2025 @ASU+GSV Summit, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with moderating "Bridging the Divide: Preparing Your Workers for Generational Change." Our powerhouse panel—Antoinette Chukudebelu(murmuration), Khurram Jamil (Area9 Lyceum), Stephanie Marken (Gallup), and Lee Berkeley Shaw (CWI Works) - took on a big truth: we're not making the most of the most age-diverse workforce in history. With five generations now working side by side, our systems still treat age as a barrier—not an asset. 🔑 Three takeaways: -Break the silos: Build teams intentionally across generations—not around them -Invest in managers: 70% of engagement is tied to leadership. That’s where the culture starts -Focus on strengths, not stereotypes: See the individual, not the generational label The generational workforce isn’t a challenge to fix—it’s a competitive advantage to unlock. The organizations that embrace this will lead on quality jobs, inclusion, and resilience. Thank you Antoinette, Khurram, Stephanie, and Lee Berkeley, for the great conversation! #ASUGSV #FutureOfWork #JFF #MultigenerationalWorkforce #Leadership
