Millennials/Net Gen/Gen Y - No better or worse than any generation before

A Few Choice Words on Millennials from one Boomer Exec!

(Millennials/Net Gen/Gen Y)

 

"As a member of the Baby Boomer generation, I have always been in the minority when it comes to dealing with Millennials in the workplace.

To me, managing is the ability to deal effectively with different types of people, and the challenge is in being able to bring all of those various personalities together effectively to accomplish the task at hand.

It’s what managers do, and what they have done as long as there have been managers. And it’s why the notion that Millennials – the younger generation that is now moving in large numbers into the workplace – need to somehow be managed differently, has always stuck me as a lot of BS.

No better or worse than any generation before

"I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: The Millennial generation … is no better or worse than any other generation that came before. Yes, they have their own unique generational issues, but in my close experience with them, Millennials reflect what you find in other generations and society as a whole—some are good, some average, some clueless."
