Managing Intergenerational Teams

Team leaders frequently find themselves managing colleagues from different generations. The best results from such generationally diverse teams come from embracing the different perspectives and skillsets that each generation can offer. Lucy Colback, Editorial Director of the FT Women in Business Asia Forum hosts a workshop delivered by Fyiona Yong, one of the youngest certified coaches in Asia and former Head of Operations at Royal Dutch Shell. Fyiona will teach you to be aware of unconscious bias and share with you practical skills to enable you to engage all team members in an inclusive and effective manner, allowing each generation to thrive in the workplace.
