🏥 What Is The Best Way To Bridge The Gap Of Generational Divides? 🏥

Multigenerational teams are the new norm in healthcare, and managing across several age groups is no longer optional.

"Genfluence: How to Lead a Multigenerational Workforce" by Katherine A. Meese, PhD and Dan Collard provides healthcare leaders with a focused, evidence-based approach to building stronger, more collaborative teams across generational lines.

➡️ Healthcare settings uniquely heighten the challenges of generational differences.

Unlike other industries, intergenerational interactions in healthcare occur among board members, leaders, doctors, nurses, patients and families—often in high-stakes, emotionally charged circumstances.

This authoritative resource helps healthcare executives understand:

🔹A healthcare-specific lens on generational leadership challenges
🔹A focus on improving retention, culture and patient care through stronger team dynamics
🔹An eight-step framework (Control + Alt + Lead) for leading multigenerational teams

With strategic insights grounded in evidence-based management and a transformational culture framework, this book equips leaders to optimize operations while advancing quality and equity.
