Multi-Generational Management—One Style Does Not Fit All
October 17, 2023
# of CPE Credits: 4 Hours
Workforces are being transformed due to the presence of five generations at work. Today’s workforce is truly multigenerational. This creates challenges due to different communication styles, work practices, and expectations from employers, but it also creates significant opportunities, as different generations bring different experiences and skills.

The Inclusive Leader
October 24, 2023
# of CPE Credits: 1 Hour
As organizations become more diverse, so does the complexity of leadership. Leading diverse teams requires managers, executives, and other business leaders to understand the evolving dynamics of their team. It also requires leaders to become more self-aware and understand how to engage in new and different ways with their teams. Leaders today need to understand how they are perceived (what others expect), received (how others react to them), and what their teams expect from a leader (how they behave, speak, and interact). We will discuss the core competencies of an inclusive leader and the importance of intentionality when leading, managing, and supporting diverse teams.
