Managing a Generational Mix: How to Increase Collaboration and Minimize Conflict
Summary
There are four generations in the modern workforce: Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. Each generation has their own way of working and communicating – and these different approaches can lead to unease, stress, and even an antagonistic, toxic work environment.
Professional women who work in a multigenerational organization need to be equipped to understand the mindset of different generations so they can appropriately manage, motivate, and retain valuable employees of every age.
But how do you manage employees from different generations? How can you avoid making broad judgments about employees based on age? What is – and isn’t - logical (or even fair!) to assume about your colleagues based on their age?
There’s a lot to consider when you plan to tackle generational differences in the workplace - but we’re here to help.
This workshop will provide context for generational behaviors and mindsets in the workplace and will equip you with skills and tools to meet and manage your employees where they are, not where you want them to be.
You’ll walk away ready to:
- Identify where generation gap issues surface, and the impact it has on the modern workforce
- Describe and apply language that is specific to each generation currently in the workplace
- Modify your approach when communicating with other generations to ease tension
- Identify ways to encourage employees to collaborate – which can help decrease generation gap issues
Program Highlights
You’ll get answers to important questions about managing a multigenerational team, including:
- How is a generation defined and why do the years change between studies?
- How do I present a consistent message to different generations without looking like I am favoring one over the other?
- What is at the root of generational conflict in the workplace, and how can I address it?
- How can I work with multi-generations while avoiding making judgements about employees based on their age?
We’ll discuss why different generations behave in different ways, and you’ll be able to:
- Identify generational behaviors in the workplace
- Understand why some employees have behaviors that defy their generation’s typical patterns
- Create opportunities for collaboration between generations
- Develop strategies to communicate with members of different generations
- Find common ground between employees
Walk away ready to:
- Understand what makes each generation tick and motivates them to perform
- Retain job-hopping Millennials and Gen Z-ers
- Increase productivity and minimize tension between members of different generations
- Plan opportunities for team-building and collaboration

“This training was clear and concise with real life examples.” – E. Palazzo
“Great overview of topic; makes me hungry for more! This was just the tip of the iceberg...but thought provoking.” – S. Killinger
“I will not be taking things personally as much and do the math in my head to calm down before jumping to any decisions/comments. This was very useful information to apply in my personal life as well.” – J. Langan
What our Passionate Fans gained from our programs that will help them do their job better
"Being an assertive communicator which shows respect for both parties. I will also try to break the bad habits by using words that discount my reputation with others." – A. Jones
"The Progressive Women's Leadership program has had a remarkable impact on my management and communication styles. Their unique focus on the woman’s perspective increases the relevance of the courses to a level I have not previously encountered. In addition to teaching practical strategies and tips that I am able to implement immediately, additional suggested materials help continue my learning after a course ends. All of this has made Progressive Women’s Leadership one of the most valuable learning experiences since receiving my MBA. I am looking forward to continuing my leadership education with them." – K. Goldbach
"I gained so many valuable tips that will help me do my job better. In the live presentation I learned how to be an assertive communicator by using the right words, putting the subject line first and not feeling guilty when saying 'no.' There were so many excellent tips that I can implement to be a more effective, confident communicator. In the materials, I learned how to structure thought processes and use a 9 step approach to provide a crisp and clear core idea so that all stakeholders buy in at the end." – B. Pasceri
"The live presentation was great! It gave me skills to be a stronger communicator and how to say 'no.' What also resonated with me was one of the first presentations when we had to sort the words into two categories. It made me realize that I may have one, and am thinking a specific way, but my staff may not be thinking the same way that I am. Very interesting." – W. Adler
"Establishing a personal mission statement is a new concept that I believe will keep me constantly thinking on how to improve. There were so many helpful tips within this course that I have already implemented and am already seeing results. I am extremely pleased with this course." – J. Rios
