When Your Manager Is Younger (or Less Experienced) Than You

With life expectancies rising by about three years every decade, and many more people living well into their 90’s and longer, people are working longer.
As a result, some companies have as many as five generations coexisting in their workplaces. Chances are high that you may one day report to a manager who is significantly younger than you. This scenario might make some people feel uncomfortable. That’s all the more reason why we should all be asking ourselves how we’d feel working for a younger person. It may happen to you, and it’s best to be prepared. This webinar explores strategies and approaches to get the most out of this situation.

Today’s workforce is made up of five generations. Chances are that the potential of leading and managing someone older than you is very possible. You may be decades younger than the people you are leading. Yet, effectively managing older employees requires a thoughtful approach that balances respect, open communication, and collaboration. This webinar explores the most effective approaches to managing older, more experienced employees, including tapping into their wealth of knowledge, fostering a positive team dynamic, and promoting continuous learning and development.

Look into any successful company, and you will find leaders who adopt a growth mindset.

In this webinar, we explore the concept of growth mindsets and review methods and approaches that help leaders at all levels develop a growth mindset.
