Keynote: Leading Across Generations

November 19, 2024

9:15 am - 10:15 am | Grand Ballroom

People managers need productive tools and insights as they navigate leadership roles, including managing up, down, and across generations. Generational expert Phil Gwoke will discuss how to establish trust among employees; recognize their individual approach to formality, motivation, and encouragement; and facilitate generational understanding around the events and conditions that have shaped each generation; and explain how these experiences show up in the workplace.

This session will focus on:

  • Creating an experience that will inspire employees to consistently show up as their most productive selves.
  • Highlighting the differences for emerging professionals today in comparison to when leaders may have started their careers.
  • Building trust, driving engagement, and improving retention.
  • Understanding how each generation wants to be managed.
