Older workers (executive and professional level on down) reporting to younger managers is an increasingly hot and prevalent issue. Unless the workforce is all one generation (unusual), this non-traditional reporting relationship will surface in your and your clients workplaces. It is likely to provoke tensions, conflicts, or even lawsuits unless addressed with training, coaching and mentoring early on. A 2006 study by Buck Consultants found 88% of employers worried about older workers and younger managers and its becoming even more common, as are lawsuits, as Baby Boomers choose to continue working.

The demographic and influence factors that shape generational attitudes

Workable preventive tactics
Training and coaching tips
How to use client focus and collaborative management styles to prevent conflicts
What to do if a lawsuit arises
