5 Generations, 1 Workforce: A Conversation with The NetWORK We recently had an incredible conversation at The NetWORK, diving deep into the complexities of having five distinct generations working side by side in today’s business world. From the wisdom of Baby Boomers to the tech-savvy energy of Gen Z, each generation brings unique strengths and communication styles to the table. Our discussion focused on: * How to bridge generational gaps for better collaboration * The importance of understanding communication styles to avoid missteps * What each generation values in their workplace environment * How leaders can adapt to inspire, motivate, and retain talent across generations Exploring how we can create a work culture where every generation feels valued and empowered to contribute to success was fascinating. After all, our diversity in experience and perspective is our greatest strength! What are your thoughts on managing a multigenerational workforce? How do you ensure collaboration and respect across age groups?

Why should you prioritize team development? High-performing teams are the engine that drives organizational success. That said, how can you ensure your teams are operating at their highest potential? The answer lies in strategic team development. Studies show that the ability to collaborate cross-functionally is now the top driver of performance and profitability. Yet 86% of employees cite a lack of team cohesion as a key barrier to achieving strategic objectives. Investing in team development allows you to: - Foster synergies that unlock new levels of innovation and growth - Build a robust talent pipeline ready to take on future challenges - Improve coordination and decision velocity across silos - Reduce costly misalignment and rework from miscommunication - Empower teams to rapidly resolve conflicts and stay focused - Reinforce values like trust, inclusion, and healthy debate in action - Model desired behaviors throughout leadership ranks Whether launching a new cross-functional initiative, integrating an acquisition, or revamping how work gets done - team development is a strategic enabler. It's an investment in the human capabilities that unlock performance. Let's discuss how embedding team-based skills could elevate your organization's readiness to capitalize on emerging opportunities. The time to prioritize this driver of success is now.

True and deep connections are the key to high performing teams and organisations. Hopefully this is not a surprise for anyone, BUT... How many conscious actions do we take to ensure that we connect with our peers at work, and even with our relatives and friends? Last month, as part of our Strategy Day, we invested a moment to run a 'social experiment' among ourselves: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧? In small groups, we were given few minutes to respond to each question: 1st round 🆗 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮? was easily answered sharing generic information, and most of us referred to work, how busy we are, etc. It was hard to keep talking to fill the timebox offered. 2nd round ❤️ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲? changed the game completely. Each one of us was sharing insightful memories and experience, both personal and professional, but mostly personal. It was tough for the facilitator to bring us back to the main group cause everyone was eager to know more about each other. Well, can you 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? Thanks Lion and DDT for welcoming me to be part of our incredible #ONETeam. Thanks Melissa Seeto Alison Hinkson (Sinclair) Ram Kalyanasundaram Robb Simpson and rest of the DDT leadership team. 🙌
