2X + Z = Tomáš, me, and Eliška
Because “about them (Gen Z) without them” just doesn’t work!
Some insights on generations and collaboration from yesterday’s workshop at innogy:
▶️ Different generations aren’t weird, just different.
▶️ Our differences are shaped by life experiences from our youth – everyone carries something unique.
▶️ Personality differences can often be bigger than generational ones.
▶️ Generational stereotypes are often just “lightning rods” for others’ frustrations.
▶️ A shared goal is key to overcoming differences.
▶️ Each generation has something to teach and enrich the others with.
▶️ One size doesn’t fit all – not even leadership styles work the same for every generation.
Many thanks to innogy Czech Republic for their trust, my colleague Tomas Rysavy from Sinlei, and the amazing Eliška Dřezová (our Gen Zer) for co-moderating.
What works for you to connect generations in a team?
