A nurse executive who considers herself a Baby Boomer will have the challenge of convincing the emerging workforce of the necessity of committee meetings
One of the primary reasons that the Baby Boom generation appears to have so many meetings in the work environment is that:
a. They feel more comfortable in a group.
b. They find that the journey to the solution is as important as the solution itself.
c. They were deprived of collective action opportunities in the past and now feel that solutions are better when many people have input.
d. Baby Boomers are aging and need the respite from work that meetings offer, so they can recuperate from the physical demands of the work environment.
ANS: B
Baby Boomers mistrust authority and trust in collective action, based on successes with social movements in their formative years.
