Today's libraries employ four generations of workers with diverse world
views, work philosophies, and life experiences. What are the broad
characteristics of each generation? What impact do these
characteristics have on workplace values, on-the-job strengths,
professional expectations, and personal motivation? How can a
successful manager not only be cognizant of these differences, but use
them to his or her advantage? Are there special challenges and
opportunities for those of us "managing from the middle?" This session
will utilize presentation and hands-on group exercises to address these
questions and provide tips on team building and conflict resolution.
Whether you are a Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, Gen Xer or Millennial,
you will learn something about your colleagues -- and perhaps about
yourself as well!
