Leadership Caffeine™-It’s Time to Get Serious About Learning from Your Twenty-Somethings

One of the recurring themes in my writing and teaching activities is the importance of blending the generations in the workplace.

I’ve now moved beyond my polite encouragement for managers to find ways to adapt and cope with what seem to be the foreign habits and foreign viewpoints emanating from the more youthful in the workforce. It's time to get serious about learning and benefitting from this younger generation.
