DEVELOPING AND RETAINING YOUNG LEADERSHIP: GEN X & Y
IN THE WORKPLACE
with Trevor Harrison, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP
With the first of the Baby Boomers heading into retirement, the
natural succession of leadership is passing to Generations X and Y.
Is the next generation ready to succeed the Boomers in these roles?
What can interns and young architects do to build the leadership
skills needed to advance in their firms and to ultimately direct
the profession? What is the architectural profession doing to
support the emerging professionals?
Please join us for an informal discussion with architectural
leaders and young professionals as we investigate the expectations
of the next generations in the context of what is possible in our
field. What does it take to retain a young professional in your
firm, what are the leadership skills that they need to learn, and
how can the young professional attain them?
