Claire
Raines is the nation's leading expert on “Generation X”: who they are,
what makes them different, and how to develop successful ways of working
with them. She is a dynamic speaker, award-winning author, and highly-regarded
organizational consultant. Ms. Raines is the co-author of “Twentysomething:
Managing & Motivating Today's New Work Force,” named one of the thirty
best business books of 1992. She has been featured widely in the media,
including USA Today, Training Magazine, Personnel Journal, Self Biz, Entrepreneur
and Communications Briefings. As an internationally recognized speaker,
Ms. Raines has received rave reviews for her keynote speeches which help
audiences better understand “Generation X.”
In her consulting practice, Ms. Raines works with companies to provide
the tools for understanding young workers. In order to create an environment
that supports and develops them, she designs management systems based on
“Generation X” values. She researches each client organization and develops
customized solutions to impact business results. America's primary labor
supply for the next decade - currently in their teens and twenties - represents
the smallest population group in U.S. history and the thinnest pool of
entry-level workers in modern times. There simply are not enough of them
to go around, particularly in the service industries. Every time a business
looses an employee, the high cost of attracting, hiring and training a
replacement cuts into the profit margin. To compound the problem, managers
complain that the “Generation X” work ethic is troublesome. They say “Generation
X”ers are not loyal, they will not make a commitment, and they show up
late -- when they show up.
Claire will give you new information about “Generation X” workers: what
they believe, how they are different, how to communicate, hire, train and
motivate them. Today's work groups contain a more diverse mix of people
with more varied ways of looking at the world than ever before. Since our
worldview is shaped primarily by our first fifteen years of life - and
what is going on around us - generations tend to have unique personalities.
Our worldview affects the way we see issues, how we feel about them, and
how we respond to them, and different views of the world can cause conflicts
that get in the wav of our effectiveness. To be excellent leaders in today's
world of work, we must understand generational personalities and know how
to comunicate with them in mind. Claire will explore the traditional American
personality, baby boom personality, and “Generation X” personality. We'll
find out what the generations think of each other - and we'll examine methods
for managing and motivating more effectively.
