Book Description
Lead Across Generations, Strengthen Teams and Improve Health Outcomes
Multigenerational teams are the new norm in healthcare, and managing across several age groups is no longer optional. Genfluence provides healthcare leaders with a focused, evidence-based approach to building stronger, more collaborative teams across generational lines.
Healthcare settings uniquely heighten the challenges of generational differences. Unlike other industries, intergenerational interactions in healthcare occur among board members, leaders, doctors, nurses, patients and families—often in high-stakes, emotionally charged circumstances. This book explores how these dynamics influence critical issues like talent retention, care outcomes and patient adherence.
Grounded in scientific research and informed by real-world practice, Genfluence introduces how to bridge the gap of generational divides through step-by-step relationship-building techniques. Readers will learn how to foster accountability and trust through seven key cultural building blocks and apply the “Control + Alt + Lead” framework to reboot their leadership approach for multigenerational success.
Key Topics:
- A healthcare-specific lens on generational leadership challenges
- New leadership model, the “Genfluencer,” is focused on connection and credibility
- The seven cultural building blocks that support cross-generational trust and performance
- An eight-step framework (Control + Alt + Lead) for leading multigenerational teams
- Actionable strategies and practical tools for both individual leaders and organizations
- A focus on improving retention, culture and patient care through stronger team dynamics
Whether you’re a frontline supervisor, entry-level employee or work within the C-suite, Genfluence is accessible and highly practical across all levels of leadership. Whether used as a cover-to-cover read or a reference guide, this book supports better outcomes through more effective, generationally aware leadership.
