In today’s shorty episode of Finding the Upside, I’m diving into the opportunities and tensions that come with leading multigenerational teams. With five generations now working side by side, I believe inclusion isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a business strategy that drives resilience, innovation, and trust.

I share insights from research, real-life stories, and current corporate shifts to uncover why so many organizations recognize the importance of multigenerational leadership but still struggle to put it into practice. You’ll hear my take on how shared norms, tailored benefits, and creative structures like reverse mentoring can break down silos and unlock collaboration across age groups.

I also get real about the recent rollbacks in corporate DEI efforts, why they’ve backfired, and what this means for leaders who want to future-proof their culture.

If you’re navigating the dynamics of Gen Z to Boomers—or rethinking how to champion inclusion under pressure, this episode will help you see how bridging generational gaps is not only possible but powerful. Tune in now.
