THE REMIX: HOW TO LEAD AND SUCCEED IN THE HIGHER ED WORKPLACE
What if generational change is not a problem to overcome, but an opportunity to be optimized?
For the first time in history, five generations now share the workplace, and higher ed leaders must balance a generation gap of multiple decades among the oldest and youngest students, professors, administrators and staff. Generational issues are often exacerbated during challenging times, such as the global Covid-19 pandemic and the remote and hybrid work situations it has created.
New York Times bestselling author and multigenerational workplace expert Lindsey Pollak — often called a translator among generations— will share her insights into how universities are changing the way they operate to better manage and leverage the unique skills and talents of each generation.
In this dynamic, engaging, action-oriented program, you will gain specific, actionable strategies to manage cross-generational challenges and turn multi-generational understanding into a competitive advantage.
Attendees will:
- Understand the five distinct generations and how to work best with multigenerational teams
- Discover the most common points of generational conflict related to communication, feedback, benefits, career pathing and more — and specific tactics to overcome them
- Obtain actionable strategies to strengthen your own generational understanding and cross-generational relationships

“Lindsey Pollak’s virtual program for Vanderbilt’s Owen Graduate School of Management this year was just as dynamic, important and engaging as in years past when she has been able to visit us in person. We can’t wait for her to be able to return on campus as soon as possible, but in the meantime, we were blown away by what a helpful session this was!”
