Authenticity is the defining trait of a new generation of business leaders. Lawrence Auls shares some of the steps that leaders can take to make themselves more genuine when managing teams.
How are Millennials Changing the WorkforceLawrence Auls
Millennials, defined as the generation born between 1982 – 1999, are one of the largest generations in the workforce. Millennials are now becoming more established in their careers and are looking to advance quickly in their careers. Research done by Gallup shows that millennials are the driving force behind changes in the workforce. As major advocates for change, millennials are pushing for the workplace everyone desires, but many are too afraid to speak up about.
Communication skills are essential for success in one’s personal life, in business and in all other endeavors one might take on. Often times, it isn’t the substance of a message or sentiment that matters; conversely, presentation matters many times more. In interpersonal communication, one’s intentions can be analogized to the substance of a message, whereas one’s tone of voice, the timing of wordplay and facial expressions can be compared to the presentation of such a message.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
