Editor's Notes
- I am excited to be here and thank you for giving me an opportunity to share my insights on what I have learned from managers all over the country concerning leading and developing the next generation of business leaders. What an awesome program
- Lets take a quick quiz….
- Stereotypes about Millennials, depict them as self-centered, unmotivated, disrespectful, and disloyal, contributing to widespread concern about how communication with Millennials will affect organizations and how they will develop relationships with other organizational members. We encourage you to leverage thier more positive qualities—they work well in teams, are motivated to have an impact on their organizations, favor open and frequent communication with their supervisors, and are at ease with communication technologies. Here are few things to remember.
- Stay Connected Millennials are likely to be more successful with an ongoing support system at work. Close parental and school counselor relationships coupled with a demand for information at the push of a button translate into a need for constant feedback and contact in the workplace. What you can do: • Connect with Millennials daily by scheduling 10-minute meetings or quick text checkins to outline expectations and answer questions. • Provide ongoing mentoring and coaching opportunities to offer guidance and reinforce direction• Take the time to recognize Millennials by name
- Provide Flexibility Skilled at multitasking and accustomed to media on demand, Millennials can consume 31 hours of media in a 24 hour period. They are likely to get bored when tasked with a single project and need variety to stay engaged. What you can do: • Assign two or more projects at a time, taking care to give explicit guidelines and due dates. • Create flexible work environments that leverage multitasking and focus on results.
- Recognize Success Millennials experienced educational and parental systems rich in praise. They are used to and expect to be recognized as someone special. They have also had limited exposure to critical feedback. To stay motivated, Millennials need frequent encouragement and acknowledgement. What you can do: Acknowledge Millennials for their work, especially when it is significant to the overall project. Create quick wins and reward them with praise when they exceed your expectationsSmall rewards go a long way (iTunes cards, Star Buck’s cards other small rewards)
