英语作文 与父母的代沟是什么 感受如何 如何解决
When I was 10 years old, I would pack a lunch, get on my bike and disappear for all of Saturday with my sister who is two years younger. We would choose a direction and just go. Sometimes it would be through the woods and other times we would stay on concrete. We would stay out until it was dinnertime and our parents had no idea where we were.
I told this story to some millennials in a workshop the other day focused on looking at leadership and the ‘gap’ between up to 5 generations in the workforce. The younger folks looked at me with shock, worry and perhaps a little envy. ‘How could your parents let you do that?’ was the unasked question filled with judgement hanging in the air. And I told them that everyone did it then. That was just the way it was. For those born in the generation after me this was a deep contrast to their highly structured, super managed weekend experiences.
Our exercise was to think like a Gen Xer which is what I am so not a big leap for me. Apparently, Gen Xers are much more independent, seek freedom, question everything and are the most likely to be an entrepreneur. Boomers, Traditionalists and Millennials all have different characteristics too. We have to be careful of stereotyping but these characteristics tend to make sense when related to the landscape of when we were born. Differences can be explained by our moment in history.
However, in the workplace, these differences are causing some serious clashes and are impacting productivity in many businesses. Millennials are viewed as ‘entitled’, Boomers are holding onto their leadership positions for longer, generating some resentment, Gen Xers are leaving to start their own businesses and although most traditionalists have moved out of the workforce our corporate structures were for the most part created by them. Generation Z is about to come of age and is starting to enter the workforce already. We don’t even know what the impact of their super connected and technology driven existence might be on the work environment. The differences may be explained by history but that does not mean they are easy to work with or that the explanations about the different generations are translating into better understanding.
What can we do to fill the generation gaps and develop a more cohesive workforce? How can we create connection, grow understanding and generate acceptance? The answer is in something we have been doing for thousands of years. Sharing stories. Stories are the most powerful tool we have for helping people of different generations really understand and accept each other. They have historically been the ‘glue’ in communities, tribes and cultures and could have the same effect in the workplace.
When I shared my story of my biking adventures, the rest of the group could see why Gen Xers tended toward entrepreneurialism. Several people said they could understand how being micro managed in the current corporate structures was so challenging for a generation that spent much of their childhood unsupervised and able to roam. We talked about Millennials and the ‘entitlement’ label. They started to share their stories of growing up with parents who spent time with them every weekend and helped them feel confident about their abilities. They told us how much they wanted their work to matter as they were very aware of having a limited time on this planet. They have grown up knowing too much about terrorism, global warming, wars and natural disasters. The clock is ticking and they need to move fast.
In a short period of time, our story sharing got us to a place of continuity and caring. We had a better understanding of each other and the world as it was when we were each growing up. Not only that but we valued the experience, enjoyed spending time together and now have a basis from which we could grow a better relationship.
Stories help us to find the similarities (and there are many!) between the generations and accept the differences. They create connection and grow compassion – both key elements in a healthy and productive workplace.
