The Big Disconnect

Why most (well intentioned) Leaders miss out on engaging the next (well intentioned) Generation

The largest generation of people in history —some 77.5 million people - are about to retire. Over the next 5 to 15 years, the workplace will shift to a new generation of leader. Organizations that can’t figure out how to keep and engage this new generation of employee will lose. This powerful keynote will provide a framework to better understand the BIG DISCONNECT that is at the heart of generational tension and show how the tools of Emotional Intelligence (EI) are critical to successfully bridging this gap.

Individuals will learn:

- What is at the heart of the BIG DISCONNECT between the generations

- Why most popular management gurus are wrong about the ‘values’ gap that ‘exists between the generations

- Understand the brain science of emotions and the critical role EI plays in bridging the generation gap

- Three strategies to help boomer and veteran leaders engage ‘new generation’ employees more successfully in order to increase discretionary (extra) effort and retention

- (and, for your high potential Gen X & Y’s) how to become more effective leaders themselves – how they can take more responsibility in leadership, including how to more effectively manage the boomers on their team!

This program will help leaders cut through the ‘noise’ clouding this critical management issue and provide them with insight and tools they can use the very next day to improve their performance. It will draw from our cutting-edge research on the generations as well as our work with Olympic medalists, professional athletes and high performing leaders around the globe.
