Leadership and the Emerging Generations

What will leadership look like in 2010? As the Baby Boom generation begins its slow march into retirement over the next decade, the faces of those running organizations, large and small, will change  in both practice and philosophy. Organizations across the US are seeing a migration away from  the Boomer work tendencies of long hours and sacrifice for the corporate good.

But this is about more than work ethic. It’s about how the next generation will alter leadership practices as we know them. Based on hundreds of hours of research and surveys, this session provides those attending with the insights and resources to prepare for this massive shift in practices. This is not about reaction. This is about the preparing the ground-work for continuity of direction and management.

Leading the New Generation of Managers will help you connect with the values and expectations of those in their 30s and 40s who will assume responsibility for strategy and execution going forward. Walk away with practical ideas and strategies for recruiting, developing and mentoring the future leaders of your organization. Time marches on. This is an issue that requires the attention of every organizational leader today.

How will your organization deal with the following challenges?

High-performing Xers who refuse promotions rather than sacrifice their family/work balance?

Rising “stars” who take your training and run to a competitor?

Young managers who refuse to participate in the “good-old-boys” network, effectively shunning senior management’s social gatherings?

Managers in their 30s who refuse to join the career ladder if it means regular relocations?

Young leaders who not only challenge traditional corporate practices, but encourage their teams to do it as well?

Young professionals who feel little need to embrace organizational history and conventions?

Emerging professionals who refuse to follow the canons of corporate etiquette? (or don’t know them)

Emerging leaders who place an over-emphasis on computer based decision-making and ignore the collective wisdom of veteran managers?

A generation of young leaders who form their own intelligence network under the organization’s radar?
