Aden is considerably younger than most of the people he supervises. He has a degree, and is mechanically inclined. Right out of college he went to work for a local manufacturer in an on-the-job training program with an eye toward becoming a team leader. Aden learned his trade well and was promoted in just under a year to team leader. He is not only younger than anyone he supervises; he is better educated, too.

Questions:

1. How can Aden turn this situation into an advantage?

2. How can he become a good supervisor of his older and more experienced workers?

3. How can he better assure that he does not alienate his team members
