The document discusses developing millennial leaders and retaining millennial employees. It notes that millennials now make up a significant percentage of the workforce and have different values than previous generations. These values include a desire for meaningful work that makes a difference and a need for ongoing learning and development opportunities. The document recommends that organizations provide leadership training, mentoring programs, and development paths tailored to millennials' preferred learning styles to engage and retain millennial talent. It then describes the NetSpeed Leadership training program which uses both in-person and online modules and tracks to develop millennial leaders.

“I was raised to believe I could change the world. I’m
desperate for you to show me that the work we do
here matters, even just a little bit. I’ll make copies, I’ll
fetch coffee, I’ll do the grunt work.
But I’m not doing it to help you get a new Mercedes.”
Elizabeth McLeod, Millennial

Advice from a Boomer
“Building a culture of mentorship can
help both groups do better in an
organization. Part of mentoring
means letting go, and giving younger
employees larger, more responsible
roles in a project. Millennials crave
acknowledgement that their skills are
essential to the success of a project.”
Craig Malloy
