It’s not you, it’s me: how to avoid alienating the younger generations in your workforce

We often have four, sometimes even five generations working side by side. That brings incredible richness of experience, but it also creates tension, because expectations, communication styles, and motivations can look very different depending on the life stage and generation you’re in. This has always been true, but the arrival of Gen Z has really surfaced it. They’re more outspoken, they expect clarity and feedback, and they are willing to leave if they don’t find it. That makes the gaps between generations much more visible.
