Tear It Down

Tear Down This Generational Chart! Janine Vanderburg has been sharing this rallying cry for some time, and recently she posted an article by that title on LinkedIn.

In it, she not only points out the inaccuracies of stereotypes and the dangers of believing them (don’t miss the great George Takei quote)—she also shares research that shows age-diversity leads to competitive advantages.

Plus—and this is a big plus—most people actually want to work together across age groups. We recognize the strengths that people with different types of experiences bring to the table.

The future of work is intergenerational.
