Customer Success Program Management | Building strategic approaches to customer success with knowledge, purpose and empathy
I saw a TikTok recently where a 50-something woman was making fun of 20-something’s in the workplace. She laughed, “They don’t know how to address an envelope!” In response, a 20-something challenged the 50-something to send an email with very specific permissions and attachment requirements. I’m not going to take sides here, but one thing is clear: each person has something to learn from the other. 👍Is it good to know how to address an envelope? Yes. 👍Is it also good to know how to send an email with specific requirements? Absolutely. 🌟The question is: do our workplaces foster an environment where this kind of learning can take place? How many of you have older co-workers? As we continue to think about workplaces of the future, we should be able to see a version of ourselves in it, whether that’s today, tomorrow or 10 years from now. ☕If you’re getting ready to change roles, pay attention to who you meet in the interview process. A homogeneous interview team should be a red flag. #diversityandinclusion #agingpopulation #leadership
Love this - setting aside generational differences at the workplace is healthy and beneficial to all

1yMany 20-somethings can't read an analog clock, and don't know what "quarter past" means. I suppose that might be a skill that's going the way of reading a sundial. I remember some TV show where the computers were down, and the young cops didn't know how to find out where somebody lived. The older cop said, "what if there was a book, with names, organized alphabetically, that included addresses and phone numbers?" Technology is changing fast. There will definitely be generational issues about capabilities.
