CEO Perspectives: The Generations, A View from Generation X
In this episode of CEO Perspectives, Katie Plotkin, Chief of US Member Development, joins Steve Odland, President and CEO, both of The Conference Board, to discuss her experience as a member of Gen X and manager of different generations.

- How are Gen Xers the “peacekeeping generation,” navigating between two much larger generations?
- What are the reasons why Gen Xers may not be very vocal?
- How did events in the 80s and 90s—from the explosion of the Challenger to 9/11—instill a sense of caution in this generation?
