Generational Leadership

I am very interested in understanding Generational Leadership. That is a study of the different motivations, work habits and management styles between the Baby Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y and the Milleniums. Specifically, I am intrigued by the unique problem of my own Gen X leadership in managing the exiting Baby Boomers while introducing the Milleniums into the workforce. Do any of you have thoughts on this? What good books have you read, or seminars have you seen that provide some insight?

Kim - I was on LinkedIn and stumbled across your site and blog. You have a gift for writing - keep it up.

"The Age Curve, by Gronbach is a good introductory resource that I found last year. I am very interested in generational marketing as well.

Hope you are doing well. Looks like Pathwise is working - that is great!

Hi Jeff! Thank you for the tip, I'll take a look at that. A book I keep referring to is "Listening to the Future", writen by Daniel W. Rasmus as part of the Microsoft Executive Leadership Series. This is a focus on the mobility and technology tools, however, there is really great information about the perspectives of the different generations.

Thanks for the encouragement!
