  <title>Episode 29 - Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation</title>
  <description>Today’s workforce is one of the most diverse in history.&amp;amp;nbsp; Workers fall into one of five (yes five) different generations.&amp;amp;nbsp; While diversity and inclusion continue to garner a great deal of attention,&amp;amp;nbsp;organizations and leaders are struggling to address tension and conflict when it comes to&amp;amp;nbsp;many&amp;amp;nbsp;different people working&amp;amp;nbsp;together&amp;amp;nbsp;and interacting with one another.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Perception is not always reality.&amp;amp;nbsp; We like to say that our perceptions may be&amp;amp;nbsp;our&amp;amp;nbsp;reality, but are they truly&amp;amp;nbsp;reality?&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; One of the greatest challenges to multi-generational cohesion&amp;amp;nbsp;rests with perception.&amp;amp;nbsp; From perception of values, to work ethic, to tech savvy;&amp;amp;nbsp;many find themselves in poor relationships with co-workers because they’ve allowed their perceptions to become their reality.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Furthermore, many individuals gravitate to others in the same generation or those who simply share the same perspectives.&amp;amp;nbsp; There is comfort in&amp;amp;nbsp;aligning ourselves with&amp;amp;nbsp;those who agree with us.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; While this gravitational pull to other like-minded individuals gives off the impression of cohesion, the opposite is actually true.&amp;amp;nbsp; In fact, when people can’t be around others who share their perspectives,&amp;amp;nbsp;many&amp;amp;nbsp;opt to isolate themselves or even avoid other workers&amp;amp;nbsp;outright.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; In this episode, we’ll break down these and other challenges associated with&amp;amp;nbsp;leading&amp;amp;nbsp;a multi-generational team.&amp;amp;nbsp; We’ll&amp;amp;nbsp;also&amp;amp;nbsp;uncover some&amp;amp;nbsp;often-overlooked&amp;amp;nbsp;similarities that ring true across all people; regardless of generation.&amp;amp;nbsp; Finally, we’ll tell you what recent research says is the ticket to bridging the gap and bringing your multi-generational team together.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
