Currently managers are learning to come to terms with something called “the great realignment” a phrase coined by Dominic Ashley-Timms.
Right now the workplace is seeing something it has never seen before – the current workplace is made up of employees from 5 distinct generational cohorts and millions of ‘accidental managers’ are facing novel management challenges that are yet to be properly examined.
