The new supervisor starts each day with reviewing yesterday's successes and challenges, and gives everyone opportunity to voice their concerns.

The passage does not provide any information about the age of the new supervisor. However, the description of the supervisor's management style aligns well with the traits often associated with Gen X managers, such as an emphasis on open communication and regular feedback. Baby boomers, on the other hand, are often perceived as hierarchical and top-down in their approach. Gen Y and Gen Z managers are still relatively new to the workforce and therefore may not be in supervisory positions yet.
