What is RMP for Cross-Generational Communication?

RMP for Cross-Generational Communication reveals the real cause of communication challenges between generations. Research conducted with 135,000+ participants shows that there are no significant motivational differences between Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials—the issue is not generational differences, but individual motivational differences. This assessment analyzes 16 core motivators, enabling organizations to move beyond generational labels and build genuine communication bridges within the workplace.

What we often call “generational conflict” is usually a difference in motivation. For example, a manager with high Order motivation expects detailed information, while a younger employee with low Order motivation tends to provide a summary. The manager may label the employee as “careless,” while the employee may perceive the manager as a “micromanager.”
