I'm sorry but if you are a boomer and you own your home, move over and get out of the way of the youth. We have had our time, now it's their time and they need the jobs, WE DON'T.
wisdom, got it. No brainer. Took forever to get to any substance regarding the ways in which intergenerational coworking spaces are beneficial. Talked more about age differences in working spaces than generational culture differences and values. Could've started off with talking about high touch and high tech or "processes". I actually wanted to learn about this subject. Disappointed. Please point me to more info.
Also , there is much older generations can learn from millennials. not just on the technical front. For example, checking one's privilege, power, gender pronouns, mindfulness, meditation rooms, importance of play, importance of rest, unconscious bias, social justice, making space for different abilities and neurodiversity (neurodivergence), intersectionality, sexual harassment, inclusion, etc. The older generation is full of biases that keep people out, the can overlook talent especially if threatened by them. Look at our retroactive executive and legislative branches. Look at the Catholic clergy or any other church for examples.
Needs a different title. Was misled
Thanks for the talk..
I was just hearing the audio.I thought it was Trump first. Then I looked…
No, it's a waste of time.
Baby Boomers don't have some 'wisdom' that makes them better at anything at all.
They horded all the wealth and stable jobs for decades, and now refuse to accept the passage of time.
I've worked with Baby Boomers.
They offer nothing that good training programmes can't.
Baby Boomers are not as a pattern, more compassionate or empathetic, only privileged enough to make such claims.
"engineers" no
This whole "there is plenty of evidence that gender and ethically diverse companies are more effective" is false.
This ted talk reads like a video resume of the speaker
I like that we can learn from each other. Imagine you're on the Star Trek Voyager and everyone's contribution is important for survival in a future, unknown world. Everyone is adventurous and exploring. How exciting to apply that scenario and curiosity to your workplace!
What he had to offer sounded poignant but vague . Maybe a few concrete examples would have helped and as a gen Xer I was hoping for specific tips on how to stay on top of my game .
There is something strange about him…
You have Struck a Chord.
The Intergenerational Approach is the Wave of the Future.
How to MILK the system !!! ?
OLD workers are USUALLY USELESS … I can fire 50% over 40 and hire 25% and improve profits !!! in 99% of corruporations !!!
OLD ppl are F'ed … support UBI !!!
??
I love this ! I don't understand all the negativity in the comment section :/
Uhhh… Don't retire the saying; just "Retire".
I've gotten tired of this I'm behind, but senior to you so listen and respect me attitude from Boomers.
Pass the torch and let us Gen-X's take over completely.
Boomers just keep holding on to obsolete values and continue to gas-light all of us into respecting the fear and backwards values of the past.
Boomers – Your gods are dead, lies uncovered, and the rules are changed for the better. Your generation is outdated. Retire from leadership.
"Google does not understand nuances", because it is Autistic
Great talk with valuable points 🙂
Although I would like to point out that the idea that diversity dramatically increasing profit or performance in a company is a great headline, but hasn't back it up with any meaningful data.
In a 2016 study, Alice Eagly finds that "research findings are mixed, and repeated meta‐analyses have yielded average correlational findings that are null or extremely small."
It's unfortunately another of those things that certain social activists have latched onto and misinterpreted data… But hey, there isn't any data about it reducing quality either, and if you have an international business, I have no doubt that insights from a more diverse group might be more valuable given the right circumstance!
Midlife crisis?'
This looks smaller than my first grade winter play.
I'm a Boomer and I noticed so much political correctness and regimented thinking….I think Millenials are too sensitive but At least they are not politically correct and have no problem questioning authority……For example….I think more young folks are opposed to abortion than older people and having an unplanned child causes no embarrassment or worrying about what people will think….Back in 70s and 80s..we were always so worried about what older people/family would think….I'm happy younger people are thinking for themselves!!!!!
Federal demographers define the Millennial Generation as those born between 1996 to 2020. If the guy was 25, he was a trailing edge Gen-X. Gen-X is rare. Baby Boomers peaked at 72,000,000. Gen-X contains fewer than 34,000,000. Millennials are expected to teach 100,000,000. EVERY Gen-X member is a very important bridge and deserve recognition as a generation. The younger leaders is a function of the rarity of Gen-X members because they are less than half the numbers of the Baby Boomers and less than a third of the Millennials.
Gen-X is so spectacular because Baby Boomer women were ALLOWED college & university funding from federal govt. on an equal basis with men for the very FIRST time.
This talk is full of actual inaccuracies, unfortunately. This speaker was dealing with 1 generation younger than he us, not 2 generations. We have Silent Generation (1920-1945, Baby Boomers (1946-1970), Gen-X (1971-1995) and some Millennials (1996-2020) in the workforce. Almost no Great Generation members still are in the workforce because they were born 1895-1919. I realize 18-30 year olds are being called Millennials as an advertising ploy, but that is a revolving cohort, not a generation. I also realize that sone social sciences use 15 year cohorts. But the USA census uses a 25 year generation & is the foundation of USA demographics. This speaker ought ti have defined his use of the term 'generation.' Gen-X deserves credit where credit us due. Gen -X at this time ( 2019) is between 49 and 24. That 25 year old guy was a Gen-X.
WTF is he talking about?
I'm only here cause I have 4 baby boomers in my security work. I'm starting to get fed up with them.The ones who have
their life in order I don't mind, the ones who hate their job, their life and are always bitter I have no sympathy for.
ok boomer
Without wisdom, it's impossible to be sustainably productive.
Being gen X sucks, we were raised to work in factories that didn’t exist. We have been living on 10-15 a hour in a world that requires 25. My whole adult life has been wasted just getting by. Now our parents are retiring and now I am told I’m to old and a insurance risk. Glad I was born to be a slave.
A new perspective.
More crappies from the Ted cult
Wise Boomer teaching Millennials how to forever destroy the planet and the economy.
Covid, it's all on you 😉
I think Baby Boomers were raised with no safety net set, they had to work to make something worth retiring on. Fast forward a couple of gen's and you find that Superannuation is compulsory and commonplace, children are born into wealth without seeing too many sacrifices, so of course their filter will be that they work just to maximise but they'd be okay anyway. It's a good thing that Western countries now have high wealth per capita, each generation can ultimately work less than the last because investment makes up that shortfall.
Inside of 20 years when the average working millennial is closing in on retirement age.
Another generation will raise up. And be at odds with the millennials.
Pushing them and their ideas to the side. Just as they are doing with baby boomers.
The baby boomers did it to the generation before them. And this pattern has always been and will always be the case.
I don't find this to be true about boomer age women, many dont want to be flexible with their, "You're being entitled and playing the victim," and, "oh about the sexist, fatphobic & racist stuff -just suck it up."
:19 secs in and that gay lisp lets me know where this speech is going…
I think this guy is looking for a job
What I wouldn't give to have had a mentor like that. Sadly at my jobs, all the wise elders we're office people who we hardly ever saw.
