There is a lot of talk about generational rift. Indeed, a lot of workers these days are feeling the heat due to millennials taking over, subsequently followed by their unique style of work. However, on further scrutiny it clearly emerges that beyond the generational differences, there exist a lot of other factors at play. The millennial generation is rather individualistic in ways, and so difficult to pigeonhole. Team leaders truly good at talent management need look beyond lazy generational stereotypes. The differences could also be regarding the stage of life or personal background. Sometimes even older workers within the team may cause problems to the leader, simply because of the feeling of being bypassed for the promotions. Whichever generation one belongs to, all want to feel valued. So this divide needs to be addressed like any other performance management issue.
