Five Generations at Work: How We Win Together, for Good

The rise of five generations in the workplace is intersecting with a world in flux, from generative AI and geopolitical turmoil to the need to regenerate the planet. These multiple forces are rapidly changing the world of work, from types of roles and careers to the way we work together. Consequently, the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to succeed are changing at a similar rate.Yet the prevailing discourse on how different generations work together has defaulted into divisive generational silos and stereotypes. At a time when it has never been more imperative to work together, we need to change this. We need to rethink how we catalyse the dynamics of five generations into more connected, collaborative, and competitive organisations drawing, rather than draining, strength from multiple generations. Structured as a highly engaging and pragmatic read, we unpack our work through the collective lenses of: Collaborate; Include; Innovate and Lead, with practical case studies focused on the mindsets, skillsets and toolkits for success. We share toolkits to borrow and build on with confidence and pride, from work thats happening now within global companies, family businesses, governments, non-profits, institutions and organisations. With cases representing six continents, multiple industries and diverse business contexts, there is a blueprint for everyone. Through exclusive interviews including EY, The FT, Hoffmann La Roche, Imaginable Futures, LVMH, Samsung, Siemens, UNDP, WEF and many more, the heroes of the book are in the deeply human series of dialogues and case studies that will challenge, provoke, and inspire five generations of readers. The world is crying out for positive leadership and this book points to a way to change the game for five generations at work for the good of us all.
