Leading a Multi-generational Organization

In today’s complex healthcare environment, a multigenerational workforce
presents unfamiliar terrain for healthcare leaders. As a result, conflicts may
develop in healthcare organizations due to the generational differences in
core values and work-related issues. Other factors include economic and
political differences, size of each generation’s population, and the
transition of younger generations to leadership roles and social influences
of the generational periods. This combination of factors results in further
conflict among healthcare employees. Healthcare executives must take
proactive steps to create cohesion across generational segments.
