On this episode we interview Dr. Tim Elmore as we discuss his book A New Kind of Diversity: Making the Different Generations on Your Team a Competitive Advantage. The past few years have brought an endless cascade of social media movements that left many of us . . . well . . . scratching our heads. Regardless of how we feel about the gaps between us, there is one we cannot avoid. One of the largest gaps remains an “elephant in the room.” We know it's there but we don't know how to talk about it.
It's the different generations that find themselves working together. It's a generation gap.
There is a new kind of diversity that only eight percent of U.S. companies even recognize: diverse generations on teams.
For the first time in history, up to five generations find themselves working alongside each other in a typical company. The result? There can be division. Interactions between people from different generations can resemble a cross-cultural relationship. Both usually possess different values and customs. At times, each generation is literally speaking a different language!
Tim Elmore is an author and leadership expert known for his work on generational diversity and leadership development. Dr. Tim Elmore's passion for leader development began in 1983 when he worked alongside and was mentored by best-selling author, Dr. John C. Maxwell.
Since then, he’s emerged as an author, leadership expert, and keynote speaker who’s trained more than 500,000 leaders in hundreds of organizations worldwide. He’s also the Founder and CEO of Growing Leaders, a non-profit team that equips students & young professionals around the world to become life-giving leaders.
