New program with Megan Gerhardt helps teams work better across age groups and turn generational differences into strengths.
CrossKnowledge is proud to announce the launch of Cultivate Intergenerational Intelligence, a new learning collection created in partnership with Megan Gerhardt, renowned generational strategist and Professor of Management and Leadership at Miami University’s Farmer School of Business.
As today’s workforce spans four or more generations, many teams struggle to communicate effectively and collaborate across age groups. While generational diversity brings unique perspectives and potential, it can also lead to friction, misunderstandings, and missed opportunities.
This new program helps learners move beyond stereotypes and develop the skills needed to work across generations. It introduces the concept of Gentelligence—the willingness and ability to understand how people shaped by different eras see the world in unique and valuable ways.
