Generations and Organizational Status — Is there correlation between generations and organizational status such as Boomer in senior management and Xers in middle management?
As far as we can see there is no correlation. Some members of any generation choose to pursue more responsibility and the remaining ones do not. It is true that Baby Boomers dominate senior level positions at this point. But that’s only because of where they are in age. Over time, they will relinquish these positions to those younger and so it goes. With the leading edge of Generation X their mid forties, we’re already seeing this beginning to happen. Another factor is the number of firms that have been started by young professionals over the past 15 years. This effect skews any broader study we might make. Looking into the trends within specific industries might reveal some clearer insights.
