Ep 47 - An interview with Dr. Eliza Filby
As Comms professionals who aim to provide clarity and understanding in everything, are we failing in that aim with certain generations? Is it time to learn the languages of different generations? Should we be smarter in thinking about the way different generations receive and respond to communications?
Matt Young and Andrew Brown from Apella Advisors discuss this little (big) question this week. However, having a couple of Gen X's ponder on this generational topic and come up with our usual answer “that everyone should just take our well considered advice”, we felt that deeper expertise and relevant erudition was required.
So we are delighted that we’re joined for this episode by Dr Eliza Filby. Eliza is an academic, a writer, speaker and consultant. She’s the author of “Mind the Gap: managing a multi-generational workforce in the post-pandemic age”; she’s spoken at a House of Lords select committee on intergenerational unfairness and has written numerous articles for the likes of the FT and the Times on generational shifts.
In summary, she’s the most qualified person (probably anywhere) to help us consider communications and generational differences.
