I made a huge mistake in my first leadership role. I treated every team member exactly the same way. What worked for my more senior employees completely frustrated the younger ones. And what motivated my Millennial teammates made the Boomers uncomfortable. Here's what I learned: Great leaders don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. Some team members crave daily feedback. Others prefer monthly check-ins. Some want detailed instructions. Others need creative freedom. Some love collaborative brainstorming. Others do their best thinking alone. The secret? Get to know each person as an individual. Ask them: • When they do their best work • How they prefer to communicate • What support they need to succeed • What kind of feedback helps them grow Because leadership isn't about your style. It's about adapting your style to help each person thrive. The best teams aren't built on treating everyone equally. They're built on treating everyone individually. That's when magic happens. And that's when everyone wins. What's your best tip for leading different generations? ♻️ Find this valuable? Repost to help other leaders. 🔖 Follow Justin Wright for more on leadership.
