And they're not sure what to do about it. The fact is, generational conflicts are not merely a matter of young versus old. They mirror critical business issues every organization faces as it transitions from the workplace of the past to that of the future. Managing the Generation Mix will help you place your multi-generational team on the course to collaboration.

Rather predictable if you've read one or two articles on generational studies, especially those focused on the workforce. Some neat best practices, but the overall theme is to manage your team with creativity and effort-- not as an afterthought to your daily responsibilities.
