Leading Across Generations

Leading Across Generations addresses this challenge and reveals the facts and fallacies of Millennial employees and coworkers. The workshop is an interactive two-day workshop that challenges many popular beliefs as it focuses on communicating across generational boundaries.

We could see immediately that the sudden influx of Millennial-aged dealers had the potential of affecting critical communications and sales relationships. The idea that anyone can look at a whole generation and say, ‘this is how they are’ is just wrong.

About the Course

Description

We created Leading Across Generations in response to a client company that needed to address a younger dealer base. In the motor vehicle industry, succession often means the business is handed to the adult children of the original owners and the manufacturer is finding that generational differences are becoming more of an obstacle in vital dealer relationships.

The workshop aids communication with a variety of original games. Acknowledging the tendency of Millennials to be connected to their phones, the workshop includes innovative online polling via text to take instant surveys among the class. The game “Guess What Generation We’re Talking About” reveals stereotypes and prejudices. The goal is to get people to realize they may not really understand who they’re communicating with, while highlighting the real obstacles that can be eliminated.

Leading Across Generations is not just about older generations gaining more accurate insights about Millennials. Millennials sitting in the same classroom learn how to be more effective working with older generations. The workshop empowers Millennials to get past the stereotypes they face and engage more effectively across generations with paths to resolutions.
