Is the Boomer-Millenial Clash Real?


Each generation brings their own mental map to the workplace, but it is the job of a manager to understand this, develop what we call “generational intelligence,” and create a plan of action to instill a sense of the company culture.

What should managers do? Here are 5 action steps for developing generational intelligence in the workplace:

  • Make training and mentoring a priority.

  • Set clear objectives - from the start.

  • Consider the medium.

  • Provide feedback early and often.

  • Pause before reacting.

Millennial workers can also take steps to ensure they understand the cultural norms of the workplace. Here are some of the tips they should consider:

  • Hold off on friending your boss on Facebook or other platforms.

  • Remember, engaging in social media lasts forever.

  • Keep your need to text at bay!

  • Position yourself as a subject matter expert of your generation.

  • Follow the lead of your manager regarding how to get things done in your organization.
