"Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it." This observation, attributed to George Orwell offers a multitude of insights into one of today's most pressing organizational challenges. Namely, to get employees from multiple generations to work together toward a shared goal. On one level, it reminds us that the gaps we see in the generational divide are not unique to one generational group nor are they new. In fact, these generational perceptions have been traced all the way back to ancient Greece when Aristotle said, "The young people would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones. Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning."
With very few exceptions, the topic of generational differences in today's workplace is on the minds of leaders and teams in nearly every sector. While having as many as four generations working together toward a common goal has its challenges, it also represents an unparalleled opportunity for organizations that can harness this diversity to increase team collaboration and impact
