Working and Thriving on a Multigenerational Team

With people living longer and many working well past the traditional retirement age, there are currently five different generations working side-by-side in many companies today. 

When a team with a wide range of ages is put together, there will certainly be differences in styles, perspectives, and expectations. However, while they can sometimes create conflict, it is these differences that can make a team stronger, more creative, and more innovative. 

Learning to accept and embrace the differences of others can help you develop professionally and learn important lessons from more experienced colleagues.
