Age Has Nothing to Do with Being a Good Manager
Lindsey Pollak answers a question from a young Millennial manager who wants to show his older team members that age has nothing to do with being a good manager and wants to know how to build rapport with them.
Welcome to The Work Remix with Lindsey Pollak, a show that takes a positive approach to personal and organizational change, combining classic business practices from the past with modern ways of working. In today’s fast-paced, high tech, multigenerational work environment, we all must be remixers to succeed.
Quotes
“When you give others time and respect, they're much more likely to reciprocate.”
“If you don't sense any concern or discomfort, then your team members might not have an issue with your age. Some older workers actually like reporting to someone with a different generational perspective.”
