　　A different sort of generation_gap is developing in the workplace.

　　Someone—specifically the father­daughter team of Larry and Meagan Johnson—has figured out that on some American job sites, five generations are working side by side.

　　In their new book about generations in the workplace the pair argue that while such an age difference adds a lot of texture and a variety of life experiences, it can also bring tensions and conflicts.

　　The Johnsons are human­resource trainers and public speakers.

　　Dad Larry is a former health­care executive; daughter Meagan is a onetime high­level sales manager.

　　Here are the oldest and youngest of the five generations they identify：

　　They call the oldest group Traditionals,

　　born before 1945. They were heavily influenced by the lessons of the Great Depression and World War Ⅱ. They respect authority, set a high standard of workmanship, and communicate easily and confidently. But they're also stubbornly independent. They want their opinions heard.

　　At the other extreme are what the Johnsons call Linksters, born after 1995 into today's more complicated, multimedia world. They live and breathe technology and are often social activists.

　　You won't find many 15­year olds in the offices of large companies, except as volunteers, of course, but quite old and quite young workers do come together in sales environments like bike shops and ice cream stores.
