Please join Authentic Leadership Cincinnati for our September meeting!  We will feature a discussion led by Robin Throckmorton, human resources expert and author.

Doors will open at 4:30pm, with the meeting beginning promptly at 5pm.  The meeting will be followed by a Happy/Networking Hour onsite (and your first beverage is on us!)

The topic is "Leading a Multi-Generational Workforce."

Leading employees can be a challenge, but leading across five generations makes it a bigger challenge. Each generation has different values and ideals. Understanding the wants and needs by generation is crucial to minimizing conflict and effectively motivating and retaining employees. As a result, morale improves, turnover is lowered, and bottom line costs are improved.

At this session you will:
• Get a quick overview of the five generations in the workplace.
• Gain an understanding of how to approach conflict positively with each generation.
• Learn what each generation looks for from their employer to become a more loyal employee
• Discuss techniques to effectively lead the different generations, younger and older
