Today it is very common for leaders to manage a multi-generational organization including members from four and soon to be five generations. Each generation has its unique mindset, work style, and ways of communication.

This workshop will help attendees recognize the drivers and motivators of each generation. It will also help attendees to foster motivation of team members individually and capitalize on the strengths each member brings to the team. Attendees will also understand attitudinal and behavioral differences of different generations, drive engagement, and get them to play nicely in the same sandbox.

This program is useful for anyone who manages or works with people belonging to different generations. This workshop is intended for small business owners, human resource professionals, administrative professionals; office managers and professional service providers.

The seminar will be led by Daniel D. Ragan, Partner – Edwards Ragan and Associates, LLC; www.edwardsragan.com.

Light refreshments will be provided to the attendees. There is no cost to attend the workshop.
