Public Sticky notes
The RenGen is a psychographic more than a demographic, but when you look at census figures alone you have this large group of boomers who in their youth idealistically wanted to change the world, got frustrated and cashed out. You also have this even larger, rising segment of young people every bit as idealistic as boomers once were. If you look at a census table, it looks like a book-ended generation with these two groups on either end.

Q. You write about the importance of collaboration in this new age. Tell us more.
A. Most especially for younger RenGen, their agenda is to collaborate, to connect and to create. They don’t respond to directive. They respond to teaming — where a boss puts a question or problem on the table and everyone can jump in. This isn’t easy. It can be frustrating to get things done this way.
