Last evening I had the privilege of being a guest lecturer at an MBA class at a local university (University of Wisconsin Milwaukee).  The subject was all about the generations — how to lead and manage a multi-generational workforce.  Their textbook is Generations at Workby Ron Zemke, Claire Raines and Bob Filipczak.  I didn’t use the textbook.  Rather we talked about our experiences working and living with the different generations.

Not surprisingly, the class was all Gen X and Gen Y — so I was an aging Baby Boomer among the youngsters.  I was impressed with their sensitivity and insight into the characteristics of the different generations.  Their questions and comments were thoughtful and always on point.

My point?  The future looks bright if all Gen X and Gen Y are as intelligent and aware as this class!
