Gen X
· "I dug deep, paid my dues, do what’s expected of me, absorb expectations– any other way is soft”.
· Where is the resilience, discipline of younger generations?
· Stuck between boomers & younger generations – doesn’t feel fair
· Dealing with ageism
Younger Generations are challenging the Status Quo.
· Why devote all of me to a company that will betray me?
· Culture matters, values matter
· Recognize the status quo isn’t working for them or anyone but those in power.
· Challenging the power structure
Each generation has differences & similarities:
· Needs, dreams, wounds, fears related their world of work & in their personal lives.
· They also have overdeveloped & underdeveloped skills.
The person in the environment matters.
