In the modern world, we live longer and have the highest birth rate ever. We have a multilayered society, and the most exciting part is that we haven’t taken full advantage of this generational blend in business — yet. Real leadership can help. Defining Real Leadership Real leadership creates shared experiences, not just a singular view. It is about listening and hearing; it’s about challenging and embracing change and other viewpoints. Real leadership is no ego and all collaboration, and it’s making sure we have a comprehensive view and the ability to go from micro to macro to micro as many times as we needed to fail and succeed without blame. It is about inclusivity, which means intergenerational success. We have to move away from the staid and move into the modern. Real leadership is about now. R
eal Leadership and Intergenerational Working Are Intrinsically Linked In the 21st century, we have a plethora of talent and energy, ready for us to grow, nurture and develop. Our future business success requires us to be fully inclusive as we challenge previously accepted norms while applying a view of past actions, failures and progress that widens opportunity. Real leadership enables us to communicate with honesty and sincerity and then take action. Real leadership is role modeling, questioning with the understanding that we can all learn and allowing everyone to have a voice. Why wouldn’t you embrace intergenerational working and make real leadership part of your business? Most people don’t know how.
Create a culture with real leadership, with vulnerability, human connection, listening, trust and respect, and you’ll nurture a successful intergenerational business.
