Navigating Generational Friction at Work

Episode Summary

Orwell once said, “Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it and wiser than one that comes after it.” Differences of any kind—whether they be race, religion, gender identity, or values—can make us or, if we let them, just as easily break us. Author, speaker, and podcaster Chris DeSantis sits down with Rob and shares his thoughts on the enormous potential value we can all get out of leveraging generational diversity.
