1. Managers encourage cooperation among various generations of employees and lead to achieve quality results. It takes a team functioning together and in sync in order to achieve the quality initiatives required, as you well point out in your post.
Class: Suppose you were the lead manager of an organization and cooperation among various employees from different generations was lacking, and as such was a barrier to making progress in quality initiative areas.

2. This week as we think about employee satisfaction and working together to bridge generational differences, Communication is an important element of bringing generational differences to a common point. In our businesses sometimes deficiencies in communication may not be addressed properly therefore supporting a continual need for improvements.
This course and our material causes me to stop and think about the possibility of generational differences being part of the communication deficit; if this is true then addressing the differences and finding commonalities might be a way to support lasting solutions.
