Very interesting blog, and the Ashridge study is right on point. Numerous experts have agreed with this point Ashridge makes about generations getting shorter; many analysts now believe, partly because of the acceleration of culture, that generations are roughly 10 to 14 years long.

One of the interesting consequences of this new thinking is the emergence of Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and Generation X. GenJones is particulary relevant here since the vast majority of GenYers are the ofsfpring of GenJones parents.

Google Generation Jones, and you’ll see it’s gotten a ton of media attention, and many top commentators from many top publications and networks (Washington Post, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) now specifically use this term. In fact, The Associated Press' annual Trend Report chose the Rise of Generation Jones as the #1 trend of 2009.

Here is a recent op-ed about GenJones as the new generation of leadership in USA TODAY:
