Marc Haine asks leaders for one concrete step to bridge generational gaps. Pick a colleague from a different generation and ask open-ended questions like "How do you see this?" to understand their perspective on a current initiative.
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.
