Emerging Leaders Conference: Zap the Generational Gap

The truth is, the workforce, and possibly your household, spans across five generations. On one end of the spectrum, the younger generations in the workforce, are beginning their careers during one of the largest global upheavals the world has experienced. On the other end, an entire generation, on the precipice of retirement, is learning how to conduct business in an increasingly digital environment. It can be a struggle to find the right balance between the sometimes-conflicting needs of each generation.

Recognizing and embracing generational diversity not only makes us empathetic to others but enables us to achieve what was previously believed unattainable. In this session at the Emerging Leaders Conference, Meagan Johnson, Generation Expert, will give attendees the action steps they can put into place immediately to take them into the future.

Key Takeaways:

• Review how Leadership optics changes and challenges each generation.

• Gain a better understanding of the different generations and how their Generational Signposts shape their expectation of the workplace.

• Uncover the top generational engagement factors.

The Emerging Leaders Conference is a fast-paced, fun, and interactive summer leadership experience designed for young (or young at heart!) material handling professionals, brought to you by MHEDA, MHI and WERC. This year’s theme, “Common Ground Leadership” is centered on providing insights on how leaders and their teams can work together with shared goals of organizational success, personal fulfillment, and the ability to embrace failure as a function of innovative thinking.

Join us at the conference on July 25 in Chicago and together we will find the common ground to help you become a better leader.
