Because thousands of generations of X often work in a different way from the baby-boomer generation, it may be difficult to understand how to deal with different personality, especially in today's multi-generation workforce. However, knowing how each colleague works best will make it a better team player. Everything done as a team does not succeed, and there will be many mistakes in the process.
