| INTERGENERATIONAL LEADERSHIP: Working Across Generations Thursday, April 24 | 12-4:15 pm ET* |
In a library setting, it's not unusual to have team members from 4 different generations with different communication styles, workplace expectations, and professional experiences. From teen volunteers to recent MLIS grads to veteran librarians nearing retirement, each generation brings something uniquely valuable to the table—but those differences can also bring challenges. What feels like respectful collaboration to one generation might come across as micromanagement or disengagement to another. Feedback can feel constructive to one but overly critical to another. Understanding and navigating these differences with empathy and clarity is the key to building cohesive, high-functioning teams. Strengthen your leadership approach in Intergenerational Leadership: Working Across Generations: Understand generational differences in values, work styles, and communication preferences. Reduce workplace friction due to intergenerational differences. Adapt your leadership style based on generational expectations. Communicate with confidence across all age groups, even when styles and preferences differ. Leverage reverse mentorship to build mutual respect, engagement and shared growth. Promote inclusivity across generations. Harness generational diversity as an asset that contributes to better team performance and morale. Make a plan for change with tangible next steps to begin shifting your workplace culture to one that embraces and benefits from generational diversity. |
