Connecting Minds. Bridging Generations.
A Blueprint for People-Centered Leadership
Are you ready to lead in a world where five generations work side by side—and no one thinks exactly alike?
I Think, You Think, We All Think Differently is your roadmap to people-centered leadership that thrives across age, background, and workplace culture. Drawing from real stories, practical strategies, and cutting-edge research, Dr. Buschman offers a compelling guide to navigating today's multigenerational workforce with innovation, positive leadership strategies, and vision.
This book addresses each part of the Strategic Leadership Triad, Leader, Staff, and Organization, with tools to enhance communication, collaboration, and innovation at every level.
Inside, you'll explore how values, communication, and leadership styles shift across Traditionalists, Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z, and how to unify these differences to drive team performance, innovation, and trust. Dr. Buschman helps readers develop influence, not just authority, and grow into the kind of leader others genuinely want to follow.
Whether you’re leading a company, a classroom, or a community, this book will reshape how you see yourself and those you lead. It's more than a book, it’s a call to lead with innovation, insight, and the courage to build something better.

Jenna Lewis de Ruibal As a Millennial who has reported to both Gen X and Boomer bosses, I only wish I had had this book in my hands at those times. The concepts and truths in this book will most assuredly help you communicate across the generational divide, which can only prove useful when having those conversations about career advancement, raises, and other opportunities. Communication and knowing your audience are vital in becoming an effective leader, and this book empowers you to do just that.

I was on the front end of the millennial generation entering the workforce, and many managers at that time didn’t exactly know “what” we were all about. This book gives so much attention to learning about my generation. It’s great to see how much research went into this book. I learned from the book, is the reasoning behind how older generations have developed their way of thinking. It will help keep you from finding yourself stuck in a job or industry you don’t like.
