Please read the article provided in the following link. Also, listen to the accompanying TedTalk. Summarize both sources (briefly!), make as many connections as you can to the assigned Module chapters and discuss the implications of this article for leading in the workplace. Bracket these sections with thoughtful introductory and concluding comments.

Mainly, I am interested in knowing if your research leads you to believe that this is really something leaders should be mindful of or is it just more media hype. In your work please do not incorporate bias and stereotype (as much as it can be avoided). There are no data indicating that older workers are less effective on the job or cannot use technologies. Neither are there consistent findings that workers under 30 are “me”-oriented or unable to function without constant reinforcement or fast-track promotions. Keep the writing to what the research tells us. Additionally, explore the paradox of the 'generations' discussion with the phenomenon described by Rainer Strack in his Ted.

 (Links to an external site.)A separate reference page (in APA format) should accompany the paper. This should also include the textbook, if you refer to it in this summary. Be sure to cite references when used in the paper. I grade this part heavily so use the web to find a brief guide to using the APA style. There is no reason to lose valuable grading points on minor stuff like writing and style violations. Once source of APA is http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/. (Links to an external site.)

Additionally, draw upon the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov) for information on the implications of the so-called aging workforce. Additional sources are also welcome.

For a passing grade, the project must be of sufficient quality and at least two pages in length, single-spaced, 12-point font, one-inch margins, etc. All formal writing rules apply. Do not write from the first or second person perspectives. Use APA style guidelines.
