Turning Generational Differences Into Assets
Briefly

Gentelligence is a framework that encourages recognizing and leveraging generational diversity as a strategic advantage in workplaces. At the University of Oxford, Professor Shelly Grunsted discussed its potential to transform organizational culture and reduce intergenerational friction. This framework emphasizes cognitive flexibility and mutual respect, urging leaders to view age differences as opportunity rather than obstacle. Key characteristics expected by younger workers include workplace flexibility, digital proficiency, and purpose-driven leadership, which further illustrates the need for a gentelligent approach to harness the strengths of all generations.
Gentelligence reframes generational differences as strategic assets that can enhance collaboration and innovation within organizations, fostering cognitive flexibility and mutual respect.
By promoting gentelligence, organizations can unlock the unique insights and problem-solving approaches each generation offers, transforming potential friction into creative advantage.
