Bridging the Generational Divide (Part II)
Gary "Doc" Murdock, Leadership Foundry

Continuing on our discussion at the March meeting and the May 7th webinar conducted by Bridge Works – the experts in the field of Bridging Generational Diversity - we will take a quick look at the events and conditions that drive differing mindsets of each generation and how they create conflict in the workplace. The BridgeBuilder® model provides proven techniques to combat generational stereotypes, while promoting generationally conscious communication and interpersonal skills. Knowing what makes a generation tick, how to communicate productively across generational gaps and the unique work styles of each helps to create a balanced, productive, and less stressed-out workplace by creating a more generationally conscious and inclusive work environment where everyone on your team feels they are a valued member.  
 
In our first session, we tackled the ClashPoints® of Organizational Structure, Rewards, Feedback and Collaboration to explore the proven tactics to lead your team through expensive Generational conflict that adversely effects morale and productivity.  During this session, we’ll dive into the areas of Work Ethic, Informality and Burnout by taking a hands-on look to learn the hard-hitting applicable tools you need to break down commonplace generational stereotypes and promote the generational truths; ensuring that every generation is seen as a valuable piece of any team.
