This document discusses how to motivate Generation Y employees. It notes that Gen Y employees are smarter than managers may think and are motivated by different factors than previous generations. Traditional methods focused on money and promotions may not be as effective. Instead, Gen Y wants engaging work, regular feedback, opportunities to learn and grow, and leaders who inspire and build a sense of community. The document advocates for non-hierarchical and relational leadership that treats followers with authenticity and significance to excite exceptional performance.
