Managing Multiple Generations in the Workforce
Tim Moore
Everyone who has spent time in any workplace over the past 25 years knows things are not like they used to be. The Baby Boomer generation remembers the 1960s and 1970s, where business owners and leaders looked forward with burning vision. But they also knew how to look back, learn from their mistakes, and apply those lessons.
Now, in this new millennium, it is the Baby Boomers who are the leaders. But the workplace has changed. Fulfilling the responsibilities of leadership and management today is more frustrating than ever and more challenging than any previous generation encountered.
No workplace is perfect and there are always job-related issues, but two new younger generations of employees have changed the workplace. These employees don’t necessarily follow the traditional styles and patterns of workplace behavior.
Many companies are experiencing generational issues as a common and continuing problem that can have an all-encompassing organizational impact and lead to unhappy employees and ultimately the loss of profits.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
During this session we will explore the four generations currently working in America’s workplace and you will develop a full understanding of their:
- Influencers
- Core values
- Attributes
- Work ethic and values
- Preferred work environment
- Assets
- Liabilities
- Preferred leadership style
- View of authority
- Media communication technology preference
- Preferred communication style
- Preferred feedback and rewards
- Training and development needs
- Much, much more…
At the conclusion of this session the attendee will be able to:
- Explain how the different viewpoints of each generation affect the workplace
- List the basic leadership and management skills one must have to cope with the different generations in your company
- Outline a realistic plan that may arise from generational differences that solves problems and gives the freedom to explore and unlock the full potential of your organization
- Explain why and how change management should include communication and understanding between change audiences (different generations), but also a deep social understanding about group dynamics and leadership style
- Identify why the leader’s job is to inspire and motivate, while the manager’s job is to plan, organize and coordinate

Full-Range Leadership Development Training for Radiology Practices
John C. Cameron, JD, LLM and John Sosik, Ph.D., CPA, CMA
Full-Range Leadership Development for Radiology Practices explains the concepts and procedures by which leaders affect their followers (individual leadership), teams (leader to team), and organizations (leader to larger systems). Participants learn how they are perceived as leaders based on results of 360 degree feedback, and expand their mental model of leadership with video examples and mini-cases, role plays, and textbook readings. Students develop plans for improving their leadership, as the instructors provide practical action steps for how to best develop and display behaviors in the Full Range Leadership Development model in the context of radiology practices.
Your registration fee includes a 360 degree leadership assessment which will need to be completed prior to your arrival at the seminar. The results of this assessment will be a critical element of your learning experience at this program. Your registration fee also includes a companion textbook that will further augment the knowledge you gain at this seminar.
At the conclusion of this session attendees will be able to:
- Distinguish between management and leadership

- Display transactional and transformational leadership behaviors via role plays
