Listen "463. Unfairly Labeled - How Your Workplace Can Benefit From Ditching Generational Stereotypes"
Episode Synopsis
Your company culture should not be designed around what generation your workers come from. It should not rely on being physically present in the office. The number one value and practice of your culture should be adaptability. Dr. Jessica Kriegel joins us today to explain how the data shows adaptable company cultures are the best performing ones.
What many people mistake for generational differences are actually life stage differences. Baby Boomers were a lot like Gen Z when they too were in their twenties. Yes, technology has increased transparency and expectations, and it has even changed where we physically work, but fundamentally we are the same across generations.
Dr. Jessica Kriegel explains how scientists at Stanford analyzed decades of data, finding only one single culture that made a difference in revenue results. In fact, it makes a 4x difference. That culture is the culture of adaptability. She walks us through how to transform your company culture into one of adaptability.
