Leveraging Strengths in Intergenerational Work Teams

Please join us Friday, November 14 to hear from Dr. Jennifer Bott, Professor of Management at Western Michigan University.  

Dr. Bott brings over two decades of leadership experience to her role as Professor of Management.  As a seasoned executive and facilitator, she has guided organizations through complex change initiatives and cultural transformations that measurably increased employee engagement and organizational effectiveness. 

You can expect to learn how to turn generational differences into a competitive advantage.  Five generations now work side-by-side, creating both friction and opportunity.  This engaging and interactive workshop moves beyond stereotypes to reveal what actually drives different age groups - and how to harness those differences as strengths. 
 

Dr. Bott will cover:

• How formative events shape each generation's values and work styles
• Practical strategies like reverse mentoring and adaptive communication
• Data on what really differs across generations (engagement, stress, motivation)
• Concrete actions to build stronger intergenerational teams
   

Organizations that approach these matters with curiosity create better retention, stronger collaborations, and a real competitive advantage.  

You will leave with a personal workplan to make it happen!
