Understanding Generational Differences to Build Stronger Leaders and Teams
Thursday, August 21, 2025, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Category: National Webinars

Today’s workplace spans more generations than ever before—with Gen Z entering, Millennials rising, Gen X holding down middle leadership, and Boomers navigating legacy and transition. However, too often, these differences create friction instead of opportunity.

In this insightful and energizing session, explore the dynamics shaping each generation’s leadership style, communication preferences, workplace expectations, and sense of loyalty and purpose. John goes beyond stereotypes to uncover what each generation truly values—and how organizations can bridge the gaps to create collaborative, emotionally intelligent teams.

This session covers:

  • A clear breakdown of generational traits and how they influence leadership behavior
  • The five “sticking points” that create the most conflict—and how to turn them into connection
  • Practical strategies to coach and develop leaders across generations
  • A blueprint for building a multigenerational leadership culture rooted in trust, adaptability, and mutual respect

Whether you're leading a team, mentoring emerging leaders, or shaping your organization’s future strategy—this session will shift your perspective on what it means to lead across generations.
