Sometimes I will have a new perspective or information or resource that I will want to share
and this will be the place I will put it. I will be sure to let you know when it is last updated--

This page will continually evolve......

The most interesting issue that I have just begun to do some reading about is
something that many of you are experiencing in the work place.
Right now there are 4 different generations working together.
The impact of these different groups, their different life experiences and values are just beginning to be understood.

The Veterans: born 1922-1943
The Boomers: born 1944-1960
The Xers: born 1960-1980
The Nexters: born 1980-2000

These dates come from a book called Generations at Work, by Ron Zemke, Claire Raines and Bob Filipczak. (2000)

In her book, eLeadership, Proven Techniques for Creating an Environment of Speed and Flexibilty in the Digital Economy, Susan Annunzio has a chapter that discusses the differences between Boomers and Xers and their approach to work. She also has some tips to facilitate understanding and communication.
