What did you expect?

What I have found interesting is how they relate in business.

Baby Boomers - Their strength is their work ethic and being dynamic communicators. Nobody could string endless 12+ hour work days together like them. Gen X saw this, Gen Y not so much. Let's face it, they are old and crusty now and have other obligations. They also spent their entire career face to face so they truly are the masters of communication. Their weakness their inability to use technology and seeing others as being unworthy as they never had the same work ethic.
Gen X - Their strength is their flexibility. They can relate to baby boomers as easily as the Gen Y. They have good work ethic and understand technology. They also tend to be decent communicators as many of them have not spent their whole life behind a screen. I think their only real weakness is a huge defiance and distrust of authority. Lots of black marks on those baby boomers resumes.
Gen Y -Multi-tasking giants that are more intelligent whether anyone wants to admit it or not. The way they process information and produce never ceases to amaze me. Lack of communication and refusal to conform in that area is their weakness. They see BBers as dinosaurs and that may be true but the old man holds the keys to the kingdom in many cases and can make them made men early on in life and help them with their communication skills if they were not so set in proving they are right and wanting to reinvent the wheel all the time.

My 2 cents.
