Members of all generations are likely to experience significant events during their developmental, adolescent years.

These experiences tend to strongly impact individuals and form lifelong impressions affecting their outlook on life and work (Glass, 2007; Schuman & Scott, 1989).

Individuals in each generational group seem to develop similar attitudes, ambitions, and a synergy that can provide them strength in society (Zemke, Raines & Filipczak, 1999).

How do we influence what may be a generational mind-set?
