Presented by Fred Egler, Esq.
There are four generations in the workplace today: the Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and the Millennials (aka “Generation Y”). Because people from each of these ages grew up in different times and in different world circumstances, their outlooks, perspectives, goals, attitudes and behaviors differ. Lawyers of the other generations often find it hard to manage or even communicate with their younger colleagues. Partners and managing attorneys need to know and understand these attitudes of their millennial colleagues in order to effectively develop their careers and maximize their worth to the firm.
