Nicole Smith: 作为新闻编辑室的管理者,我亲身经历了代际隔阂对团队合作的阻碍。年长记者不愿与年轻记者合作,这种无形的障碍源于对彼此能力的不信任和对自身地位的维护。我意识到,要打破这种局面,必须让团队成员看到合作的价值,并确保每个人都感到被尊重和认可。我通过强制合作的方式,让不同年龄段的记者共同完成项目,最终他们发现彼此可以互相学习,共同进步,从而打破了代际隔阂,实现了更好的工作成果。 Jennifer Diehl: 我认为职场中的代际冲突并非源于年龄差异,而是对权力和影响力的争夺。人们常常将年龄作为一种快速定义他人的方式,并以此来评判他人的价值。这种刻板印象导致年长员工害怕失去地位,而年轻员工则渴望得到认可。要解决这个问题,需要关注问题的核心,而不是陷入关于谁更优秀的争论。我们应该关注个人的能力和意愿,而不是他们的年龄。 Adam Grant: 我认为重要的是个人的表现,而不是出生年份。我们应该打破对不同年龄段员工的刻板印象,关注他们的实际能力和贡献。通过创造共同的目标、促进合作和确保平等的地位,我们可以打破职场中的代际隔阂,实现更好的团队合作和更高的工作效率。
