Explore the differences
that variances in age bring to the work place and how
to most effectively manage the different generations.
The demographics of our workplaces are changing dramatically.
Because of these changes, now more than ever managers
need to effectively manage staff who are at different
stages of their lives. Understanding the differences that
variances in age bring to the work place helps us to more
successfully manage and/or interact with different age
groups.
The main aims of this instrument are to:
• Raise awareness of the behavioural characteristics
for each group
• Identify your relating styles
• Present a working model that can be used to appropriately
adapt or flex your relating style
• Provide a mechanism through which age related
differences can be aired and discussed
A Personal Action Plan is provided in the back of the
booklet to help you plan what actions you will take to
continue improving your ability to manage the different
generations. Interpretive information on each of the styles
and age groups is also provided.
How this instrument is scored
This competency-based instrument uses 12 scenarios with
multiple choice responses. You assume, for the purposes
of the assessment, that you are the team leader or mentor
in each of the scenarios and select the action you would
be most likely to take.
The four styles are supporting, building, empowering and
steering. The profile also defines the patterns or styles
of thinking and behaviour that generally relate to the
four age groups of the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50-plus. Applying
this tool with a group provides a mechanism through which
age-related differences could be openly aired and addressed.
