Today's leaders are dealing with more generations than ever before. Each generation seems to bring its own fresh, new set of challenges to leaders. Are we forever doomed to deal with generational differences? Is the youngest generation the worst ever? No. The youngest generation certainly does bring its own challenges, but to say that it is the worst or toughest ever is to disregard the past. Every generation is tough. Every generation takes years to find its footing and to fit in with (or change) the culture. Every generation needs to test its independence and that usually aggravates the generation that came before them. Unless. Unless the next older generation can pause long enough to remember their own years of rebellion. It's not unique. It's what we do. Once we learn to work together, imagine how much more will be possible. -- doug smith
