Rather than giving credence to generational stereotypes that pit, for example, Baby Boomers against Millennials, effective leaders must focus on growing a strong relationship culture within their organization. Understanding and exploring individual personalities helps to grow and nurture human connection, as opposed to ascribing generic characteristics to people based on their date of birth. It’s easy to follow the path of generational stereotypes—not least because the idea is so popular in the media. We are constantly reminded how generation theory explains office dynamics. However, there are better lenses through which to view the complexity of team performance. One of the most commonly cited factors is the idea of collaboration—supposedly a Millennial character trait. But the data doesn’t fit as neatly into the collaborative Millennial construct as one might think. This tendency to transpose technological features onto generational values is one of the flaws of generation theory. A more effective approach is to drive ongoing relationship skill development within the office through formal programs. Interpersonal skill development programs help teams to understand each other and put their varied strengths to work. Although individuals and generations may show a myriad of differences, most people—regardless of age—are similar in their search for meaning and value. When understood and properly harnessed, this fundamental human desire has the power to unite any organization.
