For the first time in history, we have five generations working side by side in Australian workplaces. You may have lead a team where there is a delicious mix of experience, energy, and communication styles—each generation bringing its own flavour to your team’s table.
This generational diversity can be a huge advantage. Fresh ideas meet deep experience. Curiosity meets consistency. It’s a unique blend that, when managed well, drives innovation and performance. But let’s be honest—sometimes it can feel more like a collision than a collaboration.
As you have mostly observed, leadership, communication, teamwork, and feedback expectations vary widely across generations. A casual Slack message might feel approachable to one team member and disrespectfully brief to another. One person might thrive on real-time feedback; another may prefer a more structured reflection process. Without clarifying expectations, we risk confusion, frustration, or—worse—silence.
When you’re a Feedback Fit leader, you know how to adapt. You know how to clarify expectations to support each team member’s growth while aligning with your team’s purpose. And you know how to offer feedback in a way that lands for every team member no matter the generation.
The good news? You don’t need to figure this out alone.
The 1:1 Feedback Coaching for Leaders and the Feedback Fitness Workshops are designed to help you build a team where feedback is not feared but welcomed.
Together, we can create a culture where every team member feels respected, seen, and supported, regardless of age, background, or communication style.
Let’s bridge the generation gap with the right feedback conversations.
