What are the best leadership styles for the three generations of employees in the U.S.?

To summarize, those three generations are the Baby Boomers (leaving the workforce at 10,000 persons daily); Gen X (those born between 1965 and 1979) who comprise a large portion of leadership and upper level managerial positions, often managing those older and younger than themselves; and Gen Y (Millennials) who currently make up the largest percentage of the workforce.

In this podcast HR/Education/Leadership expert, Steve Cates meets with host, Fred Coon, SC&C CEO to discusses generational leadership styles, with an emphasis on the often ‘forgotten’ Gen X who have been holding steady in the workforce for quite some time.
