*Throughout history, the ability of a society to survive has been predicated on that society's willingness to adapt to cultural changes between generations and its effectiveness in passing knowledge and experience from one generation to another. *For current and future leaders in healthcare, an understanding of this principle is critical with the advent of a 4 generation workforce and the pending retirement of over 40% of the current workforce over the next decade. *Knowledge of the characteristics of each generation and the variation between generations is only a beginning. The challenges are to lead--to navigate the conflicts between the values and priorities of the different composites of the workforce--and to orchestrate the transfer of knowledge and expertise from one generation of workers to another.
纵观历史，一个社会的生存能力一直取决于该社会适应代际文化变迁的意愿，以及将知识和经验从一代传递到另一代的成效。对于当前和未来的医疗保健领域领导者而言，随着四代同堂的劳动力出现，以及在未来十年内超过40%的现有劳动力即将退休，理解这一原则至关重要。了解每一代人的特点以及代际之间的差异仅仅是个开始。挑战在于引领——应对劳动力不同组成部分的价值观和优先事项之间的冲突——并精心安排知识和专业技能从一代工人向另一代工人的传递。
