Today, we take a closer look at how the generation game plays out in the workplace, for better or for worse, and how emotional intelligence can act as the glue businesses need to bring their teams together.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The working world is dead; long live the working world. Almost a quarter of a century ago, Ron Zemke\u2019s seminal 1999 work \u2018Generations at Work: Managing the Clash of Veterans, Boomers, Xers, and Nexters in Your Workplace\u2019 set the stage for today\u2019s culture clash in no uncertain terms: <em>\u201cThere is a problem in the workplace &#8211; a problem of values, ambitions, views, mindsets and demographics.\u201d<\/em> 25 years on, the balance has continued to shift, with <a href=\"https:\/\/mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de\/61397\/1\/MPRA_paper_61397.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study after study confirming<\/a> that today\u2019s young workers expect their jobs to align with their wider personal expectations, to the incomprehension of their parents\u2019 generation.

Add to this the dizzying rise of digital tech, the work-from-home revolution and the global war for talent, and it\u2019s hard to view intergenerational interactions at work with anything other than an apprehensive eye. <strong>So, how can we walk the fine line between creating a workplace that seeks to embody certain values<\/strong> while remaining conscious of teams\u2019 differing life experiences?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Diversity brings conflict and friction &#8211; and friction between different ideas ignites creative problem-solving.<\/p>\n<cite>V\u00e9ronique Tran<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/veronique-tran_credits_manuel-gutjahr.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of V\u00e9ronique Tran, Professor of Organisational Psychology and Executive Vice-President of Executive Education and Corporate Relations\" class=\"wp-image-10928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/veronique-tran_credits_manuel-gutjahr.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/veronique-tran_credits_manuel-gutjahr-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/veronique-tran_credits_manuel-gutjahr-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/veronique-tran_credits_manuel-gutjahr-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9Manuel Gutjahr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Different experiences, similar goals: how EQ can bridge the generational gap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rejecting the somewhat bleak picture painted by Zemke at the close of the century, many experts argue that employees, regardless of age or job status, continue to seek similar things from their job: fulfilment, satisfaction, inclusion, and respect. For Professor of Organisation Psychology and Executive Vice-President of Executive Education &amp; Corporate Relations V\u00e9ronique Tran, this common ground is the glue that holds the workplace together. For V\u00e9ronique, diverse experiences don\u2019t necessarily mean dissimilar values:<strong> <\/strong><em>\u201cTeams with a variety of backgrounds bring different points of view, which help us to solve problems in a more creative way, create products and services that respond to diverse customers\u2019 needs, and make the workplace a pleasant place to be.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many experts, emotional intelligence (EQ) is the secret to marshalling the power of these experiences &#8211; and there\u2019s no place like the workplace for bringing it out. Unlike certain hard skills, <strong>emotional intelligence is most visible when working in a team<\/strong>. Skills associated with high EQ, <a href=\"https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/choose-to-lead\/emotional-intelligence-leadership-and-gender-equality-in-the-workplace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">such as communication, empathy, active listening, and the ability to motivate and lead<\/a> are essential for placing teams\u2019 common goals, rather than their differences, at the centre of the workplace conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet just as stereotypes surrounding gender, ethnicity and ability can seep into the workplace, the classic caricature of intergenerational tension at work tends to involve hard-headed Baby Boomers or early Gen Xers, who didn\u2019t grow up in a digital landscape, pitted head-to-head with lazy or burned-out Millennials.&nbsp; There might be a grain of truth to this, but it belies the bigger picture about what\u2019s likely to happen in the workplace in years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Businesses and organisations need the energy of the next generation to tackle some of today\u2019s greatest challenges and to share their unique understanding of the problems we\u2019re facing today.<\/p>\n<cite>V\u00e9ronique Tran<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EQ: shaping a positive mindset in an uncertain world<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/choose-to-lead\/top-management-and-millennials-towards-an-inspiring-and-caring-leadership\/\">2025, roughly 75% of the world\u2019s workers will be <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/choose-to-lead\/top-management-and-millennials-towards-an-inspiring-and-caring-leadership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">M<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/choose-to-lead\/top-management-and-millennials-towards-an-inspiring-and-caring-leadership\/\">illennials<\/a>, with GenZ coming up fast. While today\u2019s under-25s are at ease with social media and digital tools, they also report significant levels of eco-anxiety, mental health concerns and depression, having grown up in a context of climate change and social justice movements. For V\u00e9ronique: <em>\u201cYounger workers need to be particularly encouraged to train their emotional regulation and regain a positive outlook. Businesses and organisations need the energy of this generation to tackle some of today\u2019s greatest challenges and to share their unique understanding of the problems we\u2019re facing today. To achieve this, current Baby Boomers and Millennials will need to develop their own EQ to support their younger peers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Easier said than done, of course. As social animals, humans are all born with a certain amount of emotional intelligence &#8211; but developing one\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/choose-to-lead\/emotional-intelligence-leadership-and-gender-equality-in-the-workplace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EQ requires consistent mental effort<\/a>, not dissimilar to learning a foreign language. V\u00e9ronique agrees: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>From unconscious bias to overt discrimination, there are thousands of reasons why it is so hard for us to embrace diversity. The human brain is wired to opt for what\u2019s familiar, what conforms to social norms &#8211; which means committing to diversity takes serious effort. Teams that think and work alike certainly solve problems very efficiently, but they do so without questioning the way they do it. Diversity brings conflict and friction &#8211; and friction between different ideas ignites creative problem-solving.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creative problem-solving, or the art of bringing teams together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what can this positive friction look like? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/341363435_Generations_and_Emotional_Intelligence_A_Pilot_Study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A recent study<\/a> spanning Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z at work found that <strong>coaching was by far the most effective way of promoting intergenerational contact<\/strong>. Mentoring, discussion groups and \u2018shadowing\u2019 can help with each generation\u2019s sense of satisfaction, allowing younger team members the chance to discuss and reevaluate while reflecting older team members\u2019 affinity with directed leadership and teamwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, <a href=\"https:\/\/escp.eu\/thechoice\/choose-to-lead\/what-is-cultural-intelligence-why-is-it-important\/\">taking cues from colleagues who\u2019ve lived or worked abroad<\/a> can help team members to reframe their interpretation of certain behaviours &#8211; a complementary skill known as cultural intelligence or \u2018CQ\u2019. Instead of reinforcing and sharing negative stereotypes about Millennials&#8217; \u201clazy\u201d desire for flexible working hours or Boomers\u2019 \u201ccorporate\u201d attitude to feedback and hierarchy, it\u2019s important to look at the cultural context that led to these attitudes. By adjusting our expectations and appreciating that each generation has its own approach to achieving satisfaction at work, we become better able to understand what motivates us individually: a hallmark of strong EQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From workshops and team-building sessions to diversity training and HR policy, management can certainly play an important role in fostering a pro-EQ environment at work, but for V\u00e9ronique, <strong>it\u2019s up to individuals to take a conscious interest in developing this essential skill<\/strong><em>. \u201cI\u2019m definitely a fan of team building programmes and personality or team profile questionnaires, which &#8211; as clich\u00e9 as it may sound &#8211; are often very useful in helping people to appreciate differences in other people. When it comes to unconscious bias that can cause friction when it comes to gender and ethnicity, diversity and human rights officers can play an important role, but given that EQ\u2019s first step is self-awareness, it\u2019s fundamental that we each question and fight against these biases within ourselves on a personal level, so that we consciously embody the changes we seek to make.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It takes a village to raise a child &#8211; and a global village to make a successful business.
