Are generational clashes at work really as big of a deal as people make them out to be?
We’ve all heard the stereotypes—Millennials got participation trophies, Gen Z is lazy, Boomers are out of touch. And let’s be honest, Gen X…well, people just forget to mention Gen X. But what if I told you these so-called generational differences aren’t actually the problem? The real issue isn’t when someone was born—it’s where they are in life. Millennials are balancing careers and family, Boomers are thinking about legacy, and Gen Z is just starting out, trying to figure out where they fit. And yet, we talk about these differences like they’re unbridgeable gaps when, in reality, they’re just different life stages.
The truth is, the more we emphasize generational labels, the more we create unnecessary tension. It’s not age that divides teams—it’s the assumptions we make about each other. And as leaders, we have to stop managing based on stereotypes and start focusing on strengths.
