Megan Gerhardt, management professor at Miami University, studies
the impact of generational conflict on organizations. She says too
many leaders see generational lines as a source of division that
hurts productivity. But her research shows that age is often an
untapped source of diversity. When age-diverse teams are managed
well, members share more knowledge, skills, and networks with each
other. To foster intergenerational collaboration, she lays out a
four-part framework that starts with questioning assumptions and
ends with embracing mutual learning. Gerhardt is a coauthor of the
HBR article "Harnessing the Power of Age Diversity.”
