Understanding the Multi-Generational Workforce
More than ever before, firms are managing a multi-generational workforce, each generation with distinct needs, expectations, and communication styles. The “one size fits all” approach no longer works. And while the decision-making power mostly sits with one generation, the power of numbers sits with others. Leaders are struggling to reconcile these changing dynamics. In this session, we’ll discover “why now?” and look at how to get the best out of any multi-generational team so that everyone, regardless of generation, can thrive. You must register to access.
The Neuroscience of Leading People
Leading people is rarely straight forward. In this session, we’ll look at the critical role our brains play in how effectively we can lead others. We’ll explore ways to navigate other people’s neuro-responses and discover how to strengthen and expand our emotional intelligence. Ultimately, we’ll be reminded that even in fields as technical as ours, we’re human beings leading fellow human beings. You must register to access.
