Ages 18-34 are often stereotyped as “coddled” and “entitled” – and are stepping up to management positions in all areas of business, healthcare and non-profit. They join Gen X (ages 35 – 50) in replacing retiring BabyBoomers and stepping up the pace and technology. They also have been observed to respond to texts faster than voicemail and often email and are extremely vocal about flexible work schedules. What’s an older not yet retired Boomer to do?

Multigenerational workplace may need additional trainings to understand styles of communication, to reduce stress and anger, increase tolerance and patience.
