Leading Generation Next: The Millennials

The Millennials, those folks born between 1981 and 1992 (age 18 – 29), are a fairly misunderstood bunch. Many Baby Boomers have trouble relating to these high-tech, young hipsters. What is lost on many people is the terrific technology acumen that millennials bring to an organization. In addition, they are surprisingly entrepreneurial. Typically they thirst for task-variety – many people do – so get creative with their job descriptions. According to a recent PEW study, four out of every ten millennials is unemployed. For what it is worth, they tend to be liberal in their political views. With so many of these talented folks on the sidelines, maybe you should open up your blinders and inject some high-octane technology energy into your workplace.
