Master Class – How to lead across generations? Does talent have an age?

This Masterclass is motivated by three fundamental trends in the working life. First, in an era of increasing complexity, we need a more diverse workforce to be able to address the emerging opportunities and demands of different populations. Second, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract talent, we need to revisit the very concept of talent and make it more diverse. Although diversity is much more than gender, age and nationality, we have yet to gain from these three domains. Third, ESG is on the top of every board’s agenda, and social responsibility remains to be fully addressed. How to lead in an inclusive and sustainable way, taking into account the multiple generations present in the current and future workplace? This masterclass will take a multigenerational and multicultural approach to diversity, equity and inclusion, and discuss the related personal development needs.  

Could the 65-year olds be regarded as talent? In this Masterclass, Dr Tatiana Rowson from Henley Business School   discusses the implications of increased longevity and demographic trends in an era where retirement is less likely. The session introduces macro-demographic trends and debates among governments, think tanks and industry. This data will provide the context for discussions on the implications for individuals as workers, managers, and business leaders. Against this backdrop, Tatiana will explore with the audience how adult and leadership development principles must take a different time horizon to meet the needs of those living and working longer. 

What are the expectations of the younger generations, and how to lead intergenerationally?   
Dr Jules Lajola will lead us to challenges and opportunities leaders are facing in their personal development in times of complexity. The session discusses possible impacts of adopting human centric leadership style.  Furthermore, he will reflect on leadership in an international work environment encompassing multi-generational and multi-cultural demands. In his DBA, Jules explored executive coaching in millennial context and the impact of culture on coaching intervention.
