How Do I Become an Effective Leader in a Multi Generational Work Environment?How Do I Become An Effective Leader In A Multigenerational Work Environment?Leslie D. HarrisCurrent Issues in Leadership MBA 595Instructor Webster BakerApril 22, 2012For the first time in history, workplace demographics now span over four generations, meaning that 20 year-old can find themselves working side-by-side with people who are older than they are by 50 years or more. By now most employers know todays workplace is multi-generational, and includes different values and work styles. The four generations are typically categorized as Traditionalists or Veterans (65 years and older); Baby Boomers (48 years and older); Generation X (28 years and older); and Millennial or Generation Y (who began to enter the work force in 1990). With employees having grown up in different times, experiencing different world events, and raised with different values and philosophies, clashes of perspectives, expectations, work habits, and communication styles are expected. But thats no reason the focus should be on the differences between the generations, rather than what they all have in common.
What I have found at my job is that the people with experience on the job are learning that they need to have a good working relationship with newer hires. The people who have been hired recently, regardless of age, were trained using more modern technology. We know how to navigate through online publications and use PDF marking tools to highlight and bookmark pages so that we can assist the tax payer more effectively. Older employees still have tons of publications on their desks and it takes too much time to find information. We have come to learn that we all need eachother. New people need to understand the job and older employees need to learn how to do the job more effectively. Its a win, win situation.

Many people are working out of touch with reality because of an internal crisis. A long time ago a certain person said that she would work out of touch with reality if she were in the office. Some people think that the only way to get done is through doing something that is too strenuous and tedious and the people need to find an excuse for what they are doing because they can’t get the rest of the day to go. But the reality is, in the modern culture at large, this is hard. I am amazed by how far we can reach. It is so much easier to work for other people than for ourselves.

One of the core values in any firm is that you become an advocate for what you believe. I believe I have the ability to help people when the opportunity exists. In my experience I have faced a lot of challenges working in an office with older clients, but that does not mean I do not have the capacity to speak to their concerns. Some young and inexperienced people are quite reluctant to talk openly with anyone and that, in turn, may create an environment where you have to have people come to you with very conflicting agendas. In a perfect world, every customer would be looking for a solution that would work for them. However, in an ideal world, we would all be looking at each other to answer each other’s questions and to get things done as quickly as possible. This is not ideal when it comes to making sure that every customer feels supported within the firm and that every one of them is being given a fair chance. While people have been successful with other business entities in their careers the reality is, in today’s world, the only way that any of us could ever do that is through constant pressure from the business client. In order to have fair treatment for us all, we have to work together to become effective partners and partners outside our confines. My advice is that anyone who feels that they are being treated too badly should seek counsel from a lawyer with experience in real estate, finance, accounting and general law who knows how to get you to work for yourself. You can write to the attorney today to figure out what is going on. The attorney is now asking me as I begin drafting a letter to the editor saying that I have a case against you and that I must have him sign. If you work in an office with senior management, you are working with only people that are trusted, and if you are in a small, non-traditional organization, you often have a lot of small things to do. I can talk to senior management about the things they want me to do. I can talk to their business people to get information and a position for them. I can also work with the top executives
Loren’s post shows that the problem of being a freelancer is not only getting less accessible to freelancers but also is getting more dangerous, as you could already see in this recent post by Joe McConnagh, CEO of the company Hiring and Training:
Some freelancers are starting to get stuck in a bad situation, or are going to be stuck for years and years. Some freelancers have started to be hit by bad news on their schedule, or their clients don’t trust them to provide the proper service. Now our best advice would be to stay the hell out of there forever.
I could go on about where we can help freelancers stay safe on the job: the number of people employed at certain companies, the amount of compensation a firm received from the companies that employ the employees, etc. All that is available to new, younger members of our staff, but sometimes it’s hard to do, and we need to take whatever advice and assistance we can get.
Some of you may be wondering why I’m suggesting that you be more educated with your job search. Well, that’s because our job search guide contains all you need to do for them. In this post I’m going to describe which skills and training you should acquire while performing your search and how you can gain the skills required to effectively learn them.
What does training look for?
The first thing you need to get into is that you should be familiar with all the skills taught at various job search companies for any job.
Before you learn any of the skills you need, though, you should have been exposed to a high level of training and some familiarity with what different employers offer.
Here’s what I’m suggesting for any new employer you could become involved with:
Learn and learn: This is one of the most critical skills you’ll learn for any job. People who want to become employers often have a very high GPA that they can hold their own without being afraid of any job, so you should definitely take this into account when considering which skills you should acquire. You’ll also notice that certain hiring practices require specialized training and that this can often lead to an even higher GPA when working in a small firm.
Being willing to learn: This is a key skill in any company that already offers training. So don’t make it a priority unless you know where you’re going to get some training. (This part of the training comes when you are already a certified therapist in a mental health organization called a Psychosocial Evaluation Support Group, though it’s important to note that not everyone in the organization is qualified to manage their own clients. Also see my previous post for more insight into what you should get into about hiring a therapist.)
Being knowledgeable: This is probably the biggest part if you’re willing to

Managers who want to motivate employees of different age groups are more effective in keeping them engaged. Employee satisfaction is greater when they believe the development opportunities are equal for all.
My research shows that we must close the gap in multigenerational workforce differences. We have to respect the differences of others while avoiding stereotypes. It is important to understand that people have all grown up in different times and have different ways of thinking about work and technology. This doesnt mean that all older works cant learn new technology and every young person is not technologically sound.
