In response to *that* NYT article on generational conflict in Japan, it's worth noting that these sort of signals apply to the future of work in your office too.
Young people are (rightly) frustrated at being gate-kept from power and privilege. Elders are (understandably) fearful of an automated future that undervalues them and their skill sets.
How equipped are you for navigating the future world of work?
Have you mastered leading an inter-generational workforce?
Are you afraid of being "put out to pasture" by an impatient world?
Are you frustrated at how old ideas refuse to move on?
Let me know in the comments.
(And, of course if you need help making sense off the chaos, get in touch - we can help you with interventions, immersions, consultations and conversations that will leave you and your team empowered, rather than anxious about where we are headed - together.)
