There is a new force in the working world, one that has fresh, new, different ideas then some of their working counterparts. This is because these working individuals are from different generations. Constantly, we have different workers who have new ideas and are able to bring something new to a team. I would attribute this to the different generation that people grew up in. As a twenty-something, I was raised with the computer, learned Word and Excel in grade school and graduated middle school with working knowledge of how to search on the internet. This is just one example of a difference I have with say the generation my mother grew up in.
Well, at some point the workforce, both public and private, is going to be directly managed by this generation.. Sure there will be a few older employees dotted with a few newer ones, but most likely as time has proved, new generations change a workplace atmospere and culture. The question is, how will the public sector deal with the changing population of those who manage it. Surely is has gone through significant changes before. How will the factors of public administataion change? Post some comments and hopefully this blog will serve as a discussion of how the world of public administration will change for the better or worse as new generations come to manage it.
