Five generations. One workplace. Multiple definitions of respect, professionalism, urgency—and miscommunication. But the key to collaboration isn't conformity. It's communication that resonates.
🧠 Quick Insight: Generational Bias Sounds Like...
"They're so tech-challenged…"
"They don't respect the chain of command."
"Why are they so casual about deadlines?"
These are not facts. They're filters. And they block your ability to lead with empathy and communicate with impact.
🔥 Three Bold Shifts You Can Make Today
1
Check Your Self-Talk
Pause before you label. Ask: What's the story I'm telling myself about this person's behavior?
2
Match the Message to the Generation
Not everyone checks Slack like Gen Z or prefers emails like Gen X. Choose channels wisely.
3
Create Team Communication Norms
Decide as a team what "fast reply," "feedback," and "respect" actually mean.
