unlocking the power of multi-generational teams fbbpptx
A Ridley Consulting Group slide deck (author: Beth Ridley) that explains generational differences in the workplace, presents data on the generational mix at First Business Bank, and argues for the benefits of multigenerational teams. It summarizes characteristic life events and workplace traits for Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z, and embeds an "Ideal Team Player" competency model (Humble, Hungry, Smart) adapted from Korn Ferry with guidance for applying these competencies across generations. The deck cites external sources (HBR, MIT Sloan, PwC) for productivity and problem-solving claims and includes contact information for the presenter.
