Original post: __________ “They’re entitled.” “They’re outdated.” Leading today means seeing past generation stereotypes. The workforce has never been this diverse... 4 generations, each with different needs, motivators, and communication styles. If you’ve felt this tension, you’re not alone: → Some want daily check-ins → Others prefer monthly updates → A few thrive in group sessions → Many do their best work solo Here’s what each generation needs to thrive: 🟢 Boomers (12%) → Values: Stability, respect, legacy → Motivation: Recognition, job security, making impact → Lead by: Honoring experience, give clear direction 🔵 Gen X (27%) → Values: Autonomy & efficiency → Motivation: Independence, ownership → Lead by: Giving space, trusting delivery 🔴 Millennials (34%) → Values: Growth, flexibility, purposeful work → Motivation: Progress, coaching, meaningful work → Lead by: Transparency, coaching, show a growth path 🟡 Gen Z (27%) → Values: Inclusion and voice → Motivation: Being heard, trusted, making a difference → Lead by: Creating safety, inviting input Most leaders try to treat everyone the same. Great leaders learn how each generation thrives. What’s one leadership shift that helped you navigate generational differences? __________ Hi, I’m Adam Danyal.
