Managing a Cross-Generational Creative Team (InHOWse)

Speaker


Description
Managing a creative team that contains designers of widely varying ages doesn’t have to be a communication nightmare. In this session, Emily Cohen will focus on the core qualities of three generations—Baby Boomers, Gen Exers and Millennials (or Gen Y)—and explore the inherent challenges of managing each group. You’ll learn to recognize the characteristics and styles of each generation, so you can understand the context in which your employees respond in the workplace. You’ll take home cross-generational management skills, as well as tips on effectively communicating with each group.
