Challenge:
Can Your Leaders Leverage the Differences Between Generations?
For the first time in history, there are four distinct generations in the workforce:
Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials…all with their own
perspectives, styles, and expectations. Unfortunately, where there are differences, often
there are conflicts. In the past, leaders have had to apply general conflict-resolution
approaches to overcome the tension created by these differences. But what if leaders
could leverage the differences between generations instead of just eliminating conflict?
Much more than a “conflict resolution” program, participants in Leading Across Generations:
- Gain an understanding of the specific differences between the four generations in today’s workforce.
- Discover how stereotyping hinders communication and engagement.
- Learn how to engage the “whole person” in helping team members from every generation apply their unique talents and contribution.
- Know how to conduct a “Whole-Person Engagement Conversation” to identify areas for improving engagement.
- Resolve the “points of friction” where one generation’s style or perspective is likely to conflict with those of another generation.
- Explore different “points of friction” scenarios using the included reference cards to find solutions.
- Follow a powerful 21-day implementation plan to put their new understanding of the generations into practice.

The Solution: Great Leaders Tap Into the Unique
Contributions of Each Generation
FranklinCovey’s Leading Across Generations—a half-day, consultant-led leadershipdevelopment
program — gives leaders a profound understanding of the differences
between generations. But great leaders don’t just understand the differences, they also
recognize the importance of putting those differences to work in finding more creative
solutions to problems; fostering robust, productive dialog; and engaging team members
in giving their highest and best contributions.
