Millennials are forecasted to comprise half of the American workforce by 2020 and 75 percent of the global workforce by 2025, according to the Pew Research Center.
Millennials are a generation that has pushed the workplace to consider “why.” Why does our organization exist? Why do we do what we do? They want to tie their work into a greater purpose in their lives.
Unlike when you interview people from outside, you don’t have to imagine how insiders will perform. You don’t have to rely on what they say about themselves. You’re not limited to hearing the opinions of their handpicked references.
Multiplier leaders believe that everyone is brilliant at something. If you believe that, then the role of the leader becomes to identify what it is they are brilliant at (their Native Genius) and provide opportunities to put it to use.
I have had the pleasure of being a leadership coach of Millennials at some of the best places to work in the world, such as Salesforce and Cisco as well as numerous other small, medium and large organizations.
Many millennials and other younger leaders see compromising or “being political” as losing their integrity. They need to discover that we can compromise in useful ways, and do so without losing our integrity.
In 2015, Millennials surpassed Generation X as the largest group of working adults in the US. Pew Research defines Millennials as the generation born between 1981 and 1996. They now make up more than one-third of the U.S. labor force.
Once upon a time, being a leader at an organization was limited to being a manager or a member of the C-suite. These leadership roles tended to be well defined and earned through company loyalty; they served as a badge of tenure within the workplace.
As we begin a new year – and kick off a new decade – a radically different work environment is emerging that leaders will need to adapt to. New technologies continue to shift how work is done, and employees themselves are changing as well.
