Communication Among Different Generations
[2023-07-13 02:10:25]
The so-called "generation gap" in the workplace is often merely a misunderstanding of communication between different generations. Our main job as a leader is the purpose of communication, vision and direction, strategy, change, transition etc. To do this, we need to convey messages that are received and understood in the way we expect.
Unfortunately, people often fall into their personal world, the way they draft and deliver information will resonate with the way they prefer to receive information ... they will not be able to communicate I want to know the reasons for lack
The problem is not that we do not communicate. The problem is that the message is not in the form of consumer information, so the person who received the message can not understand the message.
Today, we have four generations at work. Baby boomer generation, generation X, Millennial generation (or generation Y), generation Z. The challenge of communication is that each of the four different generations grows with different eras, political influences, education, technology, social and economic influences. All these 'cultivation' provides different ways of seeing the world around us, different beliefs, expectations, and most importantly different ways.
In order to explain the main differences in an easy-to-understand manner, the following table shows three generations out of today's 4 generations (the Z generation has just entered the workplace and hardly knows what you need).
It is important to remove the above table, we are different For communication, single size is not appropriate for everyone. As a leader, we need to prepare not only for frequent communication but also for different ways. In other words, when presenting ideas and information, you need to pay attention to communication preferences and differences between generations. Today, I started developing and sending messages for personal, phone, e-mail, text, social media and video. Are extra efforts worthwhile? When the recipient understands your information as intended by the sender and acts based on it

Business communication and general communication are two major branches of communication. When we exchange information that is unrelated to business it is called common communication and when business people exchange business related information it is called business communication. The methods, processes, types, and principles of business communication are basically the same as the general communication methods, processes, types, and principles. The fundamental difference lies in their goal, style and application. The difference between business communication and general communication is as follows.
