[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You speak in a lot of buzzwords and jargon.

This 62 year old would not understand you. I know a lot of people in there 60's, 70's and 80's who are working full time. Do you want to be shoved out of the workplace when you are in your 60's?  It is illegal to discriminate at the workplace based on age.

Generally leaders should speak in clear concise words.

The term "servant leadership" is used a lot in church/religious circles.  It is an odd term to use in the business world.

Finally, if you have older workers say what you mean and use clear concise words, not jargon.

Younger tnan PP, but to their point, many older workers have experienced multiple iterations of the next best management style over the years and are skeptical of styles that use so many buzzwords and jargon. It could be one reason they don’t respond favorably to your apparently verbose style. Keep expectations clear and concise and make sure you’re not getting bogged down by your approach and the work keeps moving forward. You may get better results. [/quote]
