Megan Gerhardt, management professor at Miami University, studies the impact of generational conflict on organizations. She says too many leaders see generational lines as a source of division that hurts productivity. But her research shows that age is often an untapped source of diversity.

Gerhardt is a coauthor of the HBR article "Harnessing the Power of Age Diversity.”
