1. Every generation shares some values

What values do you, your boss and your junior people share? What about your customers?

2. Everyone wants respect

How do you want you to be shown respect? Supervisors? Team Members? Customers?

3. We all need to trust and be trusted

What is the role of trust in your relationships with your boss, your team and your customers?

4. No one really ‘likes’ change or do they?

How do younger and older people view, react and adapt to change?

5. Loyalty is personal

What inspires loyalty in you? What inspires it in your people…and your customers?

6. Everyone wants to learn

How do you learn? Your Leaders? Team Members? Customers?

Start with 6 Degrees of ‘Commonality’
