But improving skills should be the main priority for organizations who want to better deal with generational diversity.
To effectively manage a multigenerational workforce, it is significant that Atradius should assess and evaluate that workforce and how the organization supports its employees. By conducting such assessments, the organization can understand the talent it possesses and its future needs so that the company develops the most appropriate programs to support employees and implement it more effectively.
Additionally, in a constantly evolving workforce, the organization should constantly evaluate its workforce programs so that it can determine if the programs are effective and whether the cost of investment in those programs has a beneficial effect on the company’s ability to accomplish its mission. It is highly important the team leaders are trained keeping these issues in mind. It is necessary to bear in mind that “one size does not fit all” hence it is important for leaders to have a situational approach as mentioned in the discussions .

This can be very useful in a way, where the Traditional and Baby Boomer generations are struggling with technology, the Generation Y can aid in improving these skills, due to the fact they are very tech savvy (Gursoy et al., 2008). During this engagement, it may also allow for communication between the generations to help build relationships and Generation Y may desire a mentor, become familiar with skills, knowledge and some traditions, in the result of strengthening the connection and reducing conflict and tension between the generations (Sessa et al., 2007).

Introduction Team leadership encompasses many things. It may seem like a simple and small task, but in a real sense, it is complex and comes with responsibilities, and commonly, it determines the success of any team or a group. However, the value of teamwork should not be overemphasized considering that all organizations need individuals and personnel who are willing to share ideas, listen to others and contribute to the problem solving of any given group or a company. Team leaders should have the ability, authority, and power to analyze data and information with a team of people with a common aim and objective as well as issues. The leader should understand the dynamic patterns, the connections and relations between paramount factors in these objectives, aims and issues that help in the analysis process.

I honestly do not have a leadership style that I am aware of, because I technically do not have any experience in being a leader. But I am open-minded, flexible, and loyal to my commitments. I think if the ARSA LI chose me as a participant, I would grow to be someone who can lead. The reason for my inexperience despite being the SSG/ Student body treasurer and being the class president for more than 4 years is because of the idleness of our group. My fellow student body leaders and I did not have the initiative to step up as a leader.
