Collaborative Masterclass: Understanding generational differences
Overview
Where there are people, there are generations. From the workplace to home, multiple generations shape how we connect and communicate.
Generational leadership is about leading in a way that recognises, values and brings together the different perspectives, expectations and working styles of multiple age groups within the workforce. For the first time in history, up to six different generations are working side by side. Effective leaders understand how generational experiences shape motivation, communication, well-being, and ways of working. And they adapt their leadership approach accordingly.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand generational diversity: Explore the different generations in today’s workforce and what motivates them.
- Recognise the impact of generational influences: Understand how expectations, values, and experiences affect engagement, productivity, and teamwork.
- Adapt leadership and communication styles: Flex approaches to communicate confidently and inclusively across age groups.
- Model inclusive leadership behaviours: Strengthen team cohesion, psychological safety and collaboration
- Support health and wellbeing across generations: Recognise differing wellbeing priorities and apply inclusive, sustainable approaches
