Are Generational Stereotypes Useful?
Tom Fox of the Partnership for Public Service tackles the question of whether generational stereotypes are real in Monday's <a href="http://views.washingtonpost.com/leadership/fedcoach/2010/05/generational-differences.html">Federal Coach column</a>. Fox argues that there may be real differences among the four generations in the federal workforce today, but conventional wisdom may not always be accurate. As a result, federal leaders should spend time asking questions and getting to know each member of the team in order to gain perspective on what motivates each employee, regardless of their generation. Leaders also should make sure they're looking for talent that matches the needs of today, rather than seeking traits that already exist, Fox advises.
