Diversity: Leading and Working Cross Generationally

About this module

This module will consider the wide range of generations working across any school or organisation. Considering these generations allows each person to excel and enjoy their role, which in turn will lead to success for children. We will educate ourselves on the variety of generations in the workplace and offer practical ways to appropriately work together. In turn, you will be equipped to adapt and respond to the needs of your colleagues linked to common goals.

This module is appropriate for all current leaders along with any aspiring leaders in all phases and contexts.
