Marc Haine offers one concrete move for leaders managing multiple generations: ask colleagues from different age groups how they see things. A simple question like "How do you see this?" opens curious conversations that bridge the divide.
For the leaders who are tuning in right now, what's one action that they can take this week to start bridging the generational divide in their teams?
I would say you want to start by having a conversation, an intentional conversation with somebody in a different generation, like maybe a younger generation, and ask them a question as simple as, And how do you see this? Like, be curious. I want to know what your perspective is on our latest initiative. And again, different companies are going to have different things.
