5 Coaching Strategies for Gen X Leaders Working with Millennials

As a Gen X leader, do you sometimes feel baffled by the needs and preferences of your Millennial employees? You’re not alone. Many Millennials had “helicopter parents”, got a trophy for everything, and had a dependence on technology, They can seem like aliens to the self-reliant Gen Xers, who received more of a hands-off style of parenting in a lower-tech environment growing up. The resulting culture clash often leaves both sides frustrated and misunderstood. Gen Xers label Millennials as entitled and lazy while Millennials see Gen Xers as rigid and uncaring. Both stereotypes contain partial truths yet obscure the nuances of individuals. Rather than resign yourself to constant generational friction, small shifts in your coaching approach can bridge divides. Focus on understanding motivations, building trust, and sparking potential through communication. While systemic strategies exist to attract and retain Millennial talent, daily coaching habits make the biggest impact. Approach differences as opportunities to learn, not obstacles to overcome. <a href="https://carlarieger-90396.medium.com/5-coaching-strategies-for-gen-x-leaders-working-with-millennials-c94d71fde919">Visit Now</a>
