Finding out your new boss is younger than you is a situation that might make many employees feel uncomfortable.
Having a younger boss might seem intimidating, but these three tips can help you turn a potentially uncomfortable situation into a positive one.But while it may be unsettling at first, there are some things you can do to make working alongside your younger employer work – for both of you.Entrepreneur Daniel Clark said while older people may be apprehensive and defensive about having a younger boss due to their years of experience in the workforce, they need to remain open minded.
“My advice to the older people would be not to undermine them [younger people],” he told news.com.au.“Don’t assume that you’re going to be correct. Give your perspective because it’s always going to be useful, but just do it in a polite way.” “If they do make a decision, don’t try and unravel it for no reason. Don’t undermine the younger staff because it can be a bad quality to assume that you’re right.”The 27-year-old boss said quitting if your new boss is younger than you is not the answer. Instead, he encourages older workers to embrace the change.
“In any workplace you’re going find people that have different opinions and different perspectives whether it’s age, race or years of experience in the field. It’s always going to be different.3. UPSKILL TO STAY CURRENT
