Understanding Generational Differences in the Workplace
Currently, there are five generations in the workforce, each with unique characteristics shaped by their historical context. Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z all bring different expectations and work styles to the workplace. This diversity can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts if not properly managed, highlighting the importance of leaders adapting their management styles.
