2020 was a unique year for all aspects of the business. One thing it showed us was the importance of understanding the role of management and executing the process while understanding the workplace is made up of individuals of all generations, cultures, and moral values. We have seen how expectations of millennials vs. "the older" generation can vary dramatically. Attitudes and reactions to simple, day-to-day management instruction can be interpreted in numerous ways. And expectations for work output can be varied.

Lynn, the generational divide is an important concept to understand when hiring. This class helps me to understand the challenges in how I must lead the different members on my Team. The biggest challenge is in group meetings and in Team building. This course is very helpful. Thank you, Larry

Well thought-out content and presentation. Periodic mis-spell and various fonts made it seem less professional and the course was prepared on the fly with heavy Covid-19/Zoom fatigue :)
