Leading a Team of Millennials (With Enthusiasm)
Feb 9, 07:25 AM Comments [0]
As of 2015, millennials surpassed Generation X as the largest working cohort, and their presence is fundamentally shifting how business is conducted.
While it’s unwise to assume an entire generation thinks the same way (tempting as may seems) one thing is clear: businesses must adapt to this new generation, or face the consequences.
Though many articles have been written about exactly this topic, few people even agree on who is and who isn’t a millennial. The typical rule is that a millennial is born between 1982 and 2000, but this 18-year period is vast, leading to subcategories such as the mysterious Xenial. It’s all enough to leave you dizzy. Worse, the media often paints millennials in a very negative light: craving instant gratification, quickly trending towards boredom, and liable to leave any company within a year.
