Introduction

What is fact and what is fiction when it comes to generational differences?How do generational differences impact how we communicate and collaborate? My guest on this episode is Jean Twenge, Professor San Diego State University and author of Generations The Real Differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers and Silents and What they Mean for America’s Future.During our conversation Jean and I discuss:

• Why technology changes over time are the biggest driver of generational differences
• What makes Gen Z different from other generations and what they want out of work
• Why today’s young adults are taking longer than ever before to achieve adult milestones
• How millennials entering the C-Suite are changing our organizations and how we work
• Why Gen Z values mental health and will expect organizations to value this as well
