Describe the different generations that make up what some people are now referring to as "generational diversity" and their unique characteristics. What are the implications of generational diversity on effective leadership?
(89) 
VerifiedFour distinct generations comprise today's workforce-the Traditionalists (1900-1945), the Baby Boomers (1946-1964), the Generation Xers (1965-1980), and the Millenials (1981-2000). The Traditionalists represents the generation that values stability, frugality, and a strong sense of loyalty. The Baby Boomers are characterized as workaholics, driven, and high motivated. The Generation Xers are often seen as extremely resourceful, flexible, adaptive, and independent. They prefer a workplace that offers variety and stimulation. They are also seen as more tolerant of people from different demographic backgrounds than the Traditionalists and Baby Boomers. The Millenials are seen as technology "junkies." Like the Generation Xers, they are also growing up in a multicultural society and thus have a more diversity sensitive orientation.
