APPRECIATION OF GENERATIONAL CULTURE
DIFFERENCES BY THE MENTEE AND THE MENTOR
• GENERATION X (born 1963-1981)– WORK HARD IF BALANCE IN LIFE IS ALLOWED– EXPECT MULTIPLE FACULTY SEARCHES– ‘PAYING DUES’ DOES NOT EQUAL
LONGEVITY AT A JOB– SELF-SACRIFICE TO BE ENDURED
OCCASSIONALLY– QUESTION AUTHORITY & TRADITIONAL
MODELS
APPRECIATION OF GENERATIONAL CULTURE
DIFFERENCES BY THE MENTEE AND THE MENTOR
• BABY BOOMERS (born 1945-1962)– WORK HARD OUT OF LOYALTY, SOMETIMES
GUILT– EXPECT LONGER TERM COMMITMENT FROM
INSTITUTION– ‘PAYING DUES’ SHOULD BREED LOYALTY
FROM THE HEIRARCHY– SELF-SACRIFICE IS A VALUED VIRTUE– AUTHORITY (CHRONOLOGICAL AGE) IS
RESPECTED

“Ecologists tell us that a tree planted in a clearing
of an old forest will grow more successfully than one planted in an open field. The reason, it seems, is that the roots of the forest tree are able to follow the intricate pathways created by former trees and thus imbed themselves more deeply. Indeed, over time, the roots of many trees actually graft themselves to one another, creating an interdependent mat of life hidden beneath the earth. This literally enables stronger trees to share resources with the weaker so that the whole forest becomes healthier. Similarly, human beings thrive best when we grow in the presence of those who have gone before.
