Better understanding of people in the workplace

To start off 2011 with a better understanding of people in the workplace, I am going to focus, this month’s blogs, on the ever changing workplace and the five generations that are suppose to work together as a team.  Always keep in mind, that each generation has their own set of:

1. Values

2. Music

3. Language

4. Clothes

5. Social skills

If you have recently looked at a co-worker who just does something that astounds you, keep in mind they may have been value programmed and largely impacted by the generation in which they grew up.  Therefore, they may not look at the world the way you do.  Too bad, each generation thinks their own point of view is the correct point of view.  That’s just not necessarily true. 

This series will help you assess the different generations to enhance your ability to work others in a more positive manner.  If your company or association would be interested in the three hour seminar I present entitled, “Five Generations in the Workplace” let me know how I can help out.  laura@laurahamilton.com
