Baby Boomers

Strengths

Optimistic, driven, competitive, and goal-oriented. Grew up during post-war prosperity and civil rights movements. Strong work ethic, value home ownership, and many became successful professionals and entrepreneurs.

Weaknesses

Sometimes perceived as self-centered or resistant to change. Can struggle with rapid technological shifts and may hold onto hierarchical workplace structures. The "OK Boomer" phenomenon highlights intergenerational friction.

Fun Fact

The name comes from the unprecedented spike in births after World War II — the “baby boom.” At their peak, Boomers were the largest generation in history, a title later taken by Millennials.
