• April 2018

Die stille Generation, die Babyboomer, Generation X, Millennials, Generation Z -- wir alle gehören zur Erwerbsbevölkerung. Wie halten uns unsere gegenseitigen Annahmen im Job zurück und verhindern eine bessere Kommunikation? Sozialpsychologin Leah Georges zeigt, dass wir mehr Gemeinsamkeiten als Unterschiede haben und zeigt hilfreiche Vorgehensweisen, um die Mehrgenerationen-Arbeitswelt zu navigieren.

The Power of Onlyness: Make Your Wild Ideas Mighty Enough to Dent the World

Nilofer Merchant's book and related writings inspire much of my thinking about how we embrace and encourage people — as they are — to innovate from the unique place where only they stand in the world.

"What 'Legally Blonde' taught me about research and the origin of ideas"

I began exploring how organizations and popular press think about generational differences because of my experiences (some bizarre, some stereotypical) as a millennial working in the academy. For many years, I had ignored how my unique path into and through the academy could actually make me a better scholar, idea maker and mentor. This brief piece, about how I began to lean into my own "onlyness," is a reflection on how some of the best, most original ideas come from the strangest of places.
