As you certainly mention in your article, age is an element of diversity that is not always considered by project managers and have a direct impact to projects. I personally faced this challenge in different projects especially during the first decade of the new century where many generations are sharing the workplace. My colleague Ms. Jamie Gelbtuch, Principal consultant and owner at Cultural Mixology, and I co-authored an article published on PMI Community Post on April 23 and describe the generational tendencies and perceptions in a multigenerational project team. Thanks again. Best Regards. Dr. Bourne,

I have been on both ends of the equation - everyone who gets old gets here - and my best answer to this is that you treat everyone with respect. It doesn't matter if you are leading a team of people older than you, or are being led by someone younger than you, if there is an atmosphere of respect, then the team will work and the project will be a success. Creating atmosphere of respect is done through listening, agreeing on rules of engagement and being transparent in communication. Sounds simple, but it's not. If you keep working at these principles, they will get easier. thanks Hi, interesting article.
