Is Your Company Going to Have a Gen-X Retention Problem?

Great article on Gen X insights as it relates to talent strategy. According to Harvard Business Review, Gen X is playing a critical and overlooked role in bridging the digital divide. While Gen X leaders have strong digital leadership capability, they also concurrently excel in traditional leadership skills that are more critical than ever.
