Generations

Tips from the Meeting Management Education Council - 12.10

1. Be flexible in your communication style. A one-size-fits-all method of interaction no longer applies.

2. Recognize that generational discussions often pigeonhole people. Keep in mind that an individual’s generational context is only one piece of their profile (i.e. personality, family background, etc. also need to be considered).

3. When dealing with your board of director or committee groups you need to find a way to make the Baby Boomers feel that they are still necessary and important while creating opportunities for the younger generations to come in and make their mark.
