Lesson #4: Challenge Conventions and Break the Mould
In 1989, along with the outspoken Japanese politician Ishihara Shintaro, Morita co-authored a book about Japan’s economic rise called, “The Japan That Can Say No.” In it, Morita criticized American business for what he saw as the “hollowing out” of the country’s economy. Specifically, he thought their focus on mergers and acquisitions, and relocating operations overseas, was taking away from the creation of real manufacturing power.

Strategic Tips From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach For Managing The MultiGenerational Work Force
One of the most impactful current dynamics in today’s workplace is the presence of four generations of workers at the same time, which has increased the level of challenges to manage, retain and recruit a skilled work force. These four generations of American workers are: The Veterans - born prior to World War II; The Baby Boomers - born between 1946 and 1964; The Generation Xers – born between 1965 and 1980; and The Generation Ys or Boomerangs – children of Baby Boomers, born after 1980. Each group has its own distinct characteristics, values, and work ethics, based on its generation’s life experiences. This is a huge challenge to business today to successfully integrate these diverse generations to effectively work together. Here are some strategic tips for managing a multigenerational work force.

Why every business needs to consider generational differences
It turns out that different generations of employees respond to very different management approaches and incentives. Likewise, different generations of consumers respond differently to different marketing messages. Four generations are common in the workforce and consumer market today, and it is important to understand each. This article is indebted to the work of University of Illinois’s Extension Program and their research on engaging generations.
A Leadership Guide To Managing The Generations
One of the most common questions I am asked by managers is “how can I manage the ‘younger’ generation?” It seems every second workplace is having challenges between different generations …with differences in expectations of managers, work approach and style. Let me start by saying that what I am about to tell you will be discussing the generalities of generations. Before you leap in and yell “stereotypes” … listen up for a moment.

Communication: What’s the Best Way?
We are experience many different communication challenges in our workforce everyday given the different communication styles of each of the generations in the workplace. Is one generation’s style more correct than another? Is there one communication style that is better than another? It depends…on the people you work with, the clients you interact with and the culture of your company. As part of our research for Bridging the Generation Gap, Linda Gravett, PhD, SPHR, CEQC and I asked 500 individuals in each of the generations what their preferred communication method was in order to learn more about the different communication styles. We quickly learned there were definitely preferences based on the generations.

Selling to the Different Generations: What to Look For and What to Avoid
It really amazes me on how differently the generations behave in terms of their buying motivations and their spending habits. Although everyone is unique, we can clearly see a generalization among age groups. I believe these differences come from peoples surroundings and their influences consequently we are a product of our environment. Let’s have a look at some of the trends we see in the last few generations assuming a breakdown as follows:

The Gift Of Receiving
Every family has one. That one person who shoulders all the family burdens, keeps the family secrets and cleans up the family messes. The one who is everyone’s sounding board and shoulder to cry on. The one who remembers all the holidays, birthdays and anniversaries. The one around whom the family always gathers. In my family, it’s my grandma. She has been the rock in my family for as long as anyone can remember.
Love, Health and Harmony
Few things in life are more important than your family. Yet few challenges in life seem as great as keeping your family together. However, you can experience close, healthy relationships with your family!
