Last October we introduced the Young Guns series, which puts the spotlight on roofing professionals in their 20s and 30s. As part of our second installment in the Young Guns series, Roofing Contractor asked these next-generation roofing contractors to provide their perspective on a rapidly changing industry and share their insights on key issues including generational differences, social media and recruiting new employees.
A tough economy and a rapidly changing world can increase the tension between members of different generations. But in an era marked by rapid change, the younger generation of roofing contractors we spoke with expressed a genuine appreciation for the strengths of co-workers from the previous generation.
