The generational clash in the workplace is coming to a head, and old-school management styles are sometimes in conflict with management expectations held by the youngest workers. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, CEOs are predominantly Baby Boomers, and middle management is composed mostly of Gen Xers. With Millennials flooding into the workplace, older managers are struggling to relate to their younger workers. Younger workers are confident in their intelligence and what they have to contribute. They're seeking leaders and workplace cultures that embrace and cultivate new ideas regardless of the source, and organizations that provide public recognition of good ideas.
