Generational Progression

Generational Betterment
Betterment grasps the potential of both opportunity and legacy. When we focus on what
we can do better, we care less about age and more about what we should do.
Betterment brings together the age of experience with the age of freshness. While
betterment creates more opportunities, it also crafts a legacy to build upon. Betterment
advances.
Next Steps of Opportunity and Legacy
When we make this shift of generational focus, we build more than we tear down. What
we tear down are walls and create space to join together for a healthier future. How can
we get started? We can:
BETTERMENT IS WHAT OUR GENERATIONAL FOCUS MUST BE.
Focus less on age and more on talent and perspective.
Engage in civil conflict of ideas with the constant focus on how we can do better.
Create opportunity for younger generations to step up to challenges, giving the opening
to learn, fix, measure, improve, and continue a cycle of positive progression.
Create an opportunity for older generations to provide advice and do the work along
your side, recognizing the strength of experience and lessons learned.
Always, always focus on your legacy. Legacy – individual and organization – is
important, and both require our attention and positive work.
Focus on betterment. Lead by answering: How can we take this opportunity to make the
situation better than before? How can we create a legacy in which many will be proud
and I will look back on and smile?
Bring together opportunity and legacy and intertwine them to build a stronger resolution
or innovative solution.
Doing the seven actions need no further explanation. Each are intuitive and simple to
begin. We need to dust off our common sense and decency and think deeper.
When we weave together opportunity and legacy within and between our generations,
we create a marketplace of ideas, civility, and progress. More than ever, we need a
mindset of betterment. Our legacy depends on it.
