The 5 languages you must learn to speak.
I am excited to be one of 11 contributors to a new, insightful book called “Maverick Entrepreneurs’ Million Dollar Strategies”, which includes my own chapter on creating successful strategies within the new multi-generational workplace. Below are some points from my chapter.
How many generations work with you? How many languages do they speak?
The quick answer to both is 5 generations, 5 languages: Millennials, Generation Xers, Baby Boomers, Traditionalists and now Generation Z are all in the workforce for the first time.
Each generation’s birth years are: Traditionalists (1920 – 1946); Baby Boomers (1946 – 1964); Generation X (1965 – 1980); Millennials (1981 – 2000); Generation Z (2001 – 2020).
Each generation has different values and technology. Each has its own character shaping events and leadership styles.
- Traditionalists have a passion to be helpful to anyone. There are 57 million of them – 7% of the U.S. workforce.
- Boomers have wisdom from their leadership experience. There are 76 million – 38% of the U.S. workforce.
- Gen X has 46 million, 30% of us. They want balance and perspective,
- Millennials are the most technologically proficient with 75 million – 25% of us.
- Gen Z (aka Cloud Generation) is totally plugged into each other and the world.
In my chapter of the new book “Maverick Entrepreneurs’ Million Dollar Strategies”, I delve deeper into how how to communicate with the different generations to create a more engaged and profitable work environment.
