ExecuTrain of Kentucky Partners to Offer Generational Leadership in the Workplace

Louisville, KY, October 01, 2008 --(PR.com)-- ExecuTrain of Kentucky, with locations in Lexington and Louisville, announced today that it has partnered with speaker Jay McChord to offer training, dedicated to helping managers understand the challenges and dynamics of having multiple generations working side by side.

ExecuTrain will offer an entire generational leadership program beginning in January 2009. This program dissects the influential factors and motivational needs each of the four generation types, as defined by Jay McChord. The types discussed are the Traditional, the Boomer, Generation X, and Generation Y.

Currently, ExecuTrain and McChord have developed an interactive computer based tool, which gives users background information on each generation and a group of virtual employees that represent each age bracket. The user is then given scenarios for each of the employees and is asked multiple choice questions, which in turn, increase or decrease the virtual employee’s moral and attitude toward their company.

“We are very excited about the partnership with Jay McChord and the launch of the generational leadership tool,” indicates Crinda Francke, Vice President Sales and Business Development for ExecuTrain of Kentucky, “this will give managers a competitive advantage in retention and recruitment of employees in their workplace.”
