Generational Tension

This week as we prepare for the first ever Leader Lab at Christian Community Church, we're going to talk about "Generational Tension" in leadership, within the church and beyond.  Show up to the Leader Lab Wednesday Night at 7:00 to hear all about it and engage in the discussion.

This tension between people of different generations is not new.  It's as old as the words "fogey" and "whippersnapper."  However, as with many issues, it seems to increase at times and, of course, it decreases as well.  Something about the time we are in right now makes me feel like this is a time where the tension is a bit heightened.  Fortunately, I think this can be a good thing if we can understand why and how we can learn to deal with it.

Tomorrow night at Leader Lab, and right here the rest of this week, we'll talk about it.  This will include the first video blog, with a special Wednesday post tomorrow.

To get the ball rolling, specifically in regards to leadership, let's start the discussion.

How do you see generational tension manifesting itself where you work?  In church leadership?
