When a Boomer says to another
Boomer, We need to get the report
done, it is generally interpreted by the
Boomer as an order, it must be doneand done now.
However, when a Boomer says to an
Xer, This needs to be done, the Xer
hears an observation, not a command,and may or may not do it immediately.

A Generation X manager tells a Boomer
worker he has been working too hard
and should take time off to take the
family on vacation. Instead of sayingthanks, the Boomer replies, I work to
get ahead, to get a promotion, not for a
vacation.

A top-notch, cross-functional team with individuals from severaldifferent generations has been set up to recommend a solution to a
nasty manufacturing problem. After a couple of weeks, the manager
responsible for the team cannot understand why there is constant
bickering and nothing is getting done. The Veterans on the team are
looking for handwritten notes and direct, specific requests for workto be done. The Boomers do not like to work independently, and
they expect to have meetings any time, any place and it is fine if
they are called day or night. Xers do not want to hear about the
project outside of work, and dont dare call them at home.And theYers dont want any meetings at all, they only communicate via
voice mail and e-mail. Is it any wonder that the team is having
trouble getting motivated toward the goal?

, , , , Now the general who wins a battle makes many
calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought.
The general who loses a battle makes but few
calculations beforehand. Thus doing much
calculation leads to victory, and few calculations to
defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by
attention to this point that I can foresee who is likelyto win or lose.
