Abstract :

Communication barriers are a chief concern among leaders of age-diverse nursing teams today. Operationally, mitigation of this issue is fundamental to the productivity of multigenerational teams. This presentation explores each working generationâ??s competing definitions of words key to effective leadership and teamwork: respect, accountability, loyalty, and coaching. Using insights into common workplace behaviors and a clarified understanding of generational approaches, leaders can use the evidence-based strategies discussed to open the lines of communication across generations and improve cohesion on age-diverse teams.
