In our modern era of constant change, organizations face unprecedented challenges, particularly in leadership. These challenges were crystallized during one of my profound conversations with my stepson, Alexander—a quintessential Millennial leader. As a leadership executive overseeing a vast team in the NSW government, Alexander exemplifies the defining traits of his generation: collaboration, purpose-driven action, and an unrelenting drive for self-improvement.
During our discussions, Alexander illuminated a pressing challenge he faces daily—keeping his team engaged amidst a rapidly shifting workforce. With Baby Boomers retiring en masse, his department grapples with the loss of critical institutional knowledge and experience. Meanwhile, Millennials and Gen Z leaders like Alexander are left to navigate the complexities of change management, including a notable reluctance among team members to take ownership or embrace innovation.
As we spoke, he confessed that bridging the generational divide within his workforce is no easy feat. This divide—what I now call “The Great Generational Divide”—is one of the most significant challenges facing organizations today.
Inspired by my conversations with Alexander, I embarked on extensive research, synthesizing insights from my four decades of entrepreneurship and the latest data into actionable strategies for addressing this divide. This effort has culminated in my new keynote Bridging the Great Generational Divide?: Leading Fearlessly into the Future.
I’ll debut this presentation at the Beyond Boundaries Ovations Showcase in Brisbane where I’ll explore how leaders can harness their unique generational traits to foster collaboration and champion their teams. Watch this 90sec video to find out more about my presentation.

2 天前It’s ironic I’ve just attended an Aussie think tank on key pain points and I bought up generational diversity along similar lines … gen z are moving into leadership roles with a whole different set of values that millennials and early boomers even Gen X and Y ….. and it’s creating friction —- reverse mentoring and curious collaboration seems to be part of the solution
