Communicating With Older Colleagues
What should you avoid when communicating with a much older colleague?
The situation
You are working with colleagues of different ages and experiences, and need to discuss a task.
Recommended Response
B. Assuming they cannot understand technology, change, or new ideas because of their age.
Context matters. This is a recommendation for the situation described, not a rule for every interaction.
Why is B the recommended response?
Understanding this situation
Age does not prove ability or inability. Assumptions can sound patronising and damage trust. Check the person's actual knowledge and preferences instead.
