Father and son hosts David and Joshua Specht bring a generational perspective on the friction caused by making changes to improve your business or personal life, which generates frustration for you and\/or the people around you. Your generational lesson: If you want to enact change on something you\u2019re excited about or have strong opinions about, but it\u2019s not being received, recognize it\u2019s because the audience is wrong, you\u2019re bad at explaining it to them, or you\u2019re already trying to change too much. Your Gen. X Advice: The older you get, the more you have to work at taking risks. When you\u2019re 50-plus, opportunities are diminishing and the desire for security is important, so you need to deal with the frustration caused by your own internal conflict. Your Gen. Z Advice: Sometimes, your same message needs to be relayed to employees from someone else. If you\u2019re preaching the same idea or multiple changes, having a different voice offer the vision can cause your employees to not get frustrated. If you\u2019ve ever brought in an idea to improve your business or life, and that same enthusiasm is met with blank stares, it takes the wind out of you. Now, you\u2019re frustrated that others don\u2019t share your vision. Realize that you are running a story in your head, and it doesn\u2019t always gel with another person\u2019s story. When your enthusiasm falls flat, it\u2019s hurtful to you but others are oblivious to the effect because they don\u2019t share your experience. If you\u2019re a leader and you\u2019re exposed to something you know is beneficial for your company, then it\u2019s your job to sell it to everyone but also hold them accountable until they truly \u201cget it\u201d. Take as second to acknowledge there\u2019s frustration on both sides: For you when your employees don\u2019t see the big picture, and on your people\u2019s side because they\u2019re frustrated by having to change.  To force it through, it means you have to be more frustrated than your employees because you have to be persistent in driving that change. However, don\u2019t always be changing. Whatever you\u2019re inspired by at the moment can\u2019t keep causing you to change because that makes you inconsistent.
