Why Generation X Has the Leaders We Need Now

A major leadership transition is underway. Gen X’ers are assuming key roles in business and in the public sector – taking over from the Boomers. How will their leadership approach differ? Are they ready for the challenges ahead? In this provocative webcast, Tammy will share her most recent research on the generations and argue that the experiences that shaped those who were teens in the late ‘70s and ‘80s translate into valuable contemporary traits and perspectives.
Future leaders in all spheres will have to contend with a world with finite limits, no easy answers, and the sobering realization that we are facing significant, seemingly intractable problems on multiple fronts. Perhaps the biggest change from the past: leaders will have to listen and respond to diverse points of view. There will be no dominant voice.

In this context, Tammy argues that Gen X’ers will be the leaders we need. The experiences that shaped those who were teens in the late ‘70s and ‘80s translate into valuable contemporary traits and perspectives. The most difficult elements of X’ers’ past may well be those that provide the strongest capabilities for today.
