GRAND HYATT SEATTLE:
So many members have already made their reservations that our room block is full and the Grand Hyatt cannot give us any more rooms. Several members have successfully made their Grand Hyatt reservations by using Hotels.com, Expedia.com, or phoning the hotel directly. The room rate will be higher than the AGN rate; however, you will be at the conference hotel. |
Registration is open for the 2008 North American Regional
Meeting in beautiful Seattle, Washington!
Opening the conference will be Cam Marston speaking on 4 Generations in the Workplace
from 8 - 11 a.m. on Monday, May 19.
TODAY THERE ARE 4 GENERATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES EACH ONE TICK?
For the first time in history, four distinct generations - Matures, Boomers, Xers, and Millennials - are employed side by side in the workplace. With differing values and seemingly incompatible views on leadership, these generations have stirred up unprecedented conflict in the business world. Effective management of this generational divide is vital to longevity and success.
In fact, it is the most important demand your firm can make of its leaders.
|
CAM MARSTON, founder and president of Generational Insight, has spent years studying the collective histories and traits of the Matures, Boomers, Xers and Millenials to discover what makes each generation tick. This insight will help you bring out the best in your employees and colleagues, and have a profound impact on your success.
Learn how each generation developed its core values, how that manifests in the workplace today, and why they can all not only operate alongside each other, but do so with extraordinary success. |
This program provides the generational insight, concrete examples and specific approaches
to help frustrated managers build the individual connections needed to
boost
employee performance and retention.
