“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.”

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.”
