When you run a business you have to make sure the business is running correctly but most importantly you have to make sure that your employees are motivated and do the job that they are required to do.

The Greatest Generation was during 1910 through 1925. This generation has been through the great depression and some of them had even fought in the Second World War. They are called the greatest generation because of all the sacrifices they had to go through. (Robinson, 2014) Since they were in the great depression they had to save every penny that they could no matter how hard that may be. A pay raise would motivate this generation so

generation they were born between the years 1901 through 1924. They are the children from the greatest generation. These children always had the “Good Kid” reputation, they were very formal children. When they were growing up the national debt dropped from twenty-four billion dollars to sixteen billion dollars. The main focus for these children were education, they always wanted something better. This generation likes good leaders that do not change things around too much. (Social Identitiy of the G.I. Generation, 2014) This generation would work harder with a leader that addresses them formally and makes changes slowly, do not surprise them with a new change. (Mocke, 2014)
The Baby Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. They were born right after the Second World War being the children of the greatest generation and the early G.I. generation.

This generation always had constant access to technology. Generation Y is one of the most parental generations so far. People in this generation loves to supports good causes. (Generation Y, 2014) Since this generation has a strong parental structure and they are very sociable let them have mentors but also allow them to work with their friends.
