About the Course
Because people are living longer today, we have more generations in the workforce interacting with each other than ever before. This can make leading your officers more complicate as officer from different generations may have different motivations, communication styles, and values. In this course, David Rausch will discuss how to work more collaboratively with someone from a generation different from your own and how to utilize the strengths of each generation to create a more positive and effective work culture.
