And so the leaders I've coached that have several generations in their teams, I have said, yes, you have to talk to Joe different than you talk to Vince. And you have to talk to Vince different than you talk to Susan. But Remember, human beings, we all have this in common. We all care. We all want to matter. We all want to feel valued. We all want to make a difference.

And as a leader, I've learned that if I keep those fundamental principles in my mind regards to the generation I'm dealing with, then I realize, okay, yeah, this person, they want more flexibility in their, I'm making this up, but they want more flexibility in their workday. This person, it's more important to them to be recognized in front of everybody. This person

A lot of organizations need people to come back to the office. And I would say, dad, help me understand why they need to be in the office just so I can see what they're doing. Okay, so did their productivity drop when they were working from home? No, in fact, one of them had actually increased. Okay, so why do they, if they don't want to come back to the office, What are you paying them for?

I don't have all the answers, but if we can get back down to the basics of human beings and what's important and try and put ourselves in their shoes, we can not only treat them with the language and the way they want to be treated, they're going to be that much more engaged and they're going to bring that much more of their best selves to work every day.

I went all over with that one, Vince, but that's my response.

I think the number one priority for everyone in this world, professionally and personally, should be relationships. I think nothing is more important than our relationships. And I think if you ask anyone, regardless of what part of the world they live in, at the end of the day, if someone we care about needs our help, we drop everything to go help. If there's an urgency, an emergency.

So I just think it's our nature as human beings on this earth that relationships matter. And the foundation of all foundations in any relationship is trust. Whether it's my professional relationship with my boss or my colleague, whether it's a personal relationship with one of my friends or one of my kids or nieces or nephews, it's the level of trust that we have. Right.

Am I someone that's trustworthy? Do they trust me? Do I do what I say I'm going to do? Do I have integrity? And can I trust them? Doesn't mean we're perfect. Doesn't mean I never make a mistake or they never make a mistake. But it means that our intent is to do the right thing and to build that trust. So I believe trust is at the heart of every relationship, every good relationship.
