The Boomers

The Boomers (1946-1964) have always been in crowds.  It is the largest generation in the history of America.  There are 80 million of these Boomers roaming around trying to have eternal youth, vibrant health and abounding self-directed drive. They make up 45% of the workforce and they are, by and large, in leadership in almost every industry.  From CEOs to Shift Leaders they are managing the four younger generations.  Ironically, this is the generation whose mantra was, “Never trust anyone over 30!”  Whew have things changed.  Now the Boomers are The Establishment!  Look for Boomers to want loyalty from co-workers and expect co-workers to do what they are told to do!  Because most Boomers are self-trained on computers and software they may not be as technology savvy as they appear.
