This workshop will invite leaders of differing generations to practical conversations that help remove barriers to productive relationships between incumbent and emerging leaders. While there is much information available on generational demographics, the focus of this program is on the relational aspects of generational dynamics.
Based on research within organizations, six patterns that distinguish distressed versus effective intergnerational relationships have been identified. The patterns include: rank, meaningful conversation, inclusion and engagement, dreaming, generosity, and gratitude. The workshop will explain and assess these patterns as well as explore how they promote or hinder cross-generational relationships. The workshop includes case studies, role plays, journaling exercises, and action planning tools.
The facilitator’s guide and participant workbook complete the workshop set of materials.
