She is best known for her deep research into the generations at work, distilled into a celebrated trilogy of Harvard Business Review Press books, and for showing that each generation’s attitudes are shaped by the distinct events and geography that formed them.

Tammy Erickson Keynote Topics
Drawing on decades of research and her acclaimed trilogy of books, Erickson helps leaders understand the four, soon five, generations now working side by side. Moving beyond stereotypes, she reveals how the distinct events and geography that shaped each generation drive what they want from work, and gives leaders practical, empathetic strategies to engage and unite them all.
Erickson maps the forces reshaping work, from demographic shifts and new technologies to changing employee values and expectations. She helps leaders see what's coming and prepare for it, offering a clear-eyed, optimistic view of how organizations can adapt their practices, culture, and leadership to thrive in a rapidly evolving world of work.
Based on her landmark London Business School research into collaboration across dozens of multinational teams, Erickson reveals what actually makes complex, diverse teams work. She shares the specific leadership practices, relationships, and cultural conditions that enable large teams to collaborate effectively, and why some of the instincts leaders rely on can quietly undermine both collaboration and innovation.
Much of today's work depends on discretionary effort, people choosing to innovate, share knowledge, and go the extra mile. Erickson shows leaders how to earn that effort, using her research-based approach to engagement (including her D-I-C-E model) to help organizations attract talent, unlock innovation, and build cultures where people genuinely want to do their best work.
