Becky Berry and Diana Bader investigate the gaps in understanding that keep people and businesses from reaching their full potential.
- The generational gap works both ways.
- "We've always done it this way," isn't a legitimate reason to do something.
- Building a bridge of understanding between generations is the ideal.
- The first step in closing the generation gap is developing mutual respect.
- Anytime we develop better communications and understanding of each other helps us build and reinforce the bridge.
- Merging skills from all generations is game changing.
- The education system - how it values of certain skills, teaching methods and curriculum choices - also fosters gaps in understanding and respect.
- Maintaining limits and restrictions perpetuate gaps in understanding.
- Gaps also appear when we fear, resist, or are unable to re-imagine ourselves.
