“Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.”

- George Orwell

The New Workforce

The Millenial (or Gen Y) generation packs power in numbers alone - by 2014, half of the employees in the world will be those born after 1980.

If you are reading this page, you probably work with Millenials.  You may be a Millenial.  The Millenial generation is much studied, greatly admired, and closely watched.  Today, older Millenials fill significant roles in organizations, politics, and communities.

Admiration for the Millenial generation is sometimes accompanied by discomfort, as the previous generations that defined corporate ground rules now encounter employees with different mindsets about work and life.  And, sometimes we don't know or think that we are biased for (or against) a particular generation's preference and behaviours.

Multigenerational leadership is not just a fad; it's the new essential.  Providing managers with focused skill-building and tools to successfully manage today's new workforce is now a critical element of forward-thinking leadership development programs.  Our highly interactive learning experience covers the following:
