Are you leading across multiple generations?
Are you an experienced leader managing younger employees? Or a younger leader overseeing team members older than yourself? Perhaps a combination of both?
Leading across generations presents unique challenges. Today’s workforce spans six generations, with up to five actively engaged in professional settings. As new generations enter the labor market, leadership becomes increasingly complex, with shifting expectations and evolving demands. Some refer to this dynamic as a generational clash, adding new dimensions to leadership.
However, rather than a challenge, this can be an opportunity.
Studies show that diverse teams collaborating effectively outperform homogeneous ones. Teams that leverage strong cross-generational and diverse collaboration enhance innovation, creativity, and overall performance.
Through this course you will gain:
-
A broader understanding of today's workplace dynamics.
-
Insights into developmental psychology and career perspectives across generations.
-
An introduction to motivation theory and unconscious bias in the workplace.
A core element of the course is inclusive leadership—understanding how to navigate diversity beyond just generational differences. The future workplace demands adaptability, and this course will help you refine your leadership approach by addressing ingrained biases and assumptions influencing your leadership style.
Additionally, you will be introduced to the concept of psychological safety—one of the key foundations for fostering an inclusive, high-performing workplace. A psychologically safe environment strengthens team collaboration, well-being, and performance.
By the end of this course, you will have practical, actionable strategies to enhance team efficiency, innovation, and engagement, ensuring both individual and business success.
