From Traditionals to Generation Z: Leading Generations at Work
Dr. Bryan Edwards — Joe Synar Chair and Professor of Management in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University
Ever wonder how new hires could be so impatient or how your boss does not understand “flex” workspace? The answer largely lies here: For the first time, five generations are converging in the workplace. Examine how the different life expe- riences of Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z create challenges in communicating and collaborating. You will also consider ways to bridge the generational divide. This seminar is sponsored by the Department of Management and the Center for the Future of Work in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University. Participants earn 0.1 to 0.6 continuing education units (CEUs) depending upon the length of the seminar.
