Millennial Phone Phobia

The CEO was frustrated. "I ask a Millennial to call someone, and they text instead. There’s a difference." She's right. A phone call is the power choice when time is short or stakes are high. We all have to be able to make the call or take the call. Millennials who want to succeed can't afford phone phobia. The CEO’s complaint tripped a memory wire for me. At 28, I became the editor of a magazine. To the people I worked with, I looked like a kid.... Read More

Is It Time to Manage Millennials Differently?

Want Loyalty? Manage Collaboratively. Boomers expected to be loyal to the company first. The boss was just part of the package. Millennials have turned that on its head. Millennials are loyal to collaborative bosses. The company is just part of the package.  Studies across multiple industries all reveal the same evidence—the primary element making Millennials happy in their jobs is a supportive supervisor. And the primary element that makes them disengage and walk is... Read More

Dinks, Sleep and the American Dream: Gen X Finds Balance

As Gen X entered the workplace, the world went digital and the economy slowed. Both changes made the work week longer. Always-able Gen X has adapted in clever ways. Like watching less TV (fewer hours than slacker Booms) and putting in work hours after putting the kids to bed. And then there are the major changes, like having fewer kids, and having them later.  How has Gen X adapted? They sleep less for starters. The "sandwich" generation squeezed between aging...

Gen Z: Your Interns Are Different This Year.

This is GenEdge (also called Gen Z), and they are a big change from the Millennials who preceded them. If you haven't noticed differences yet, you soon will.  Born between 1995 and 2010,... Read More

Managing Millennials: Amy Lynch talks with Entrepreneur Magazine

Generations expert Amy Lynch  knows why older leaders fail to connect with Millennials. "I get it," she says. "Leading Millennials doesn't come naturally for Boomers. It means breaking out of the top-down mold and becoming collaborative. It means learning to say " Here's what we have to do. Now, talk to me. How shall we get it done?"   Fortunately, most Boomers are getting the hang ot it. And, at the same time, Millennials make... Read More

Want that Feedback Open-faced or Sandwiched?

    Last week I met with a video editor who had done some work for me. I started out with “This is great. I love the narrative you’ve created . . .” and so forth.

By praising him first and working on relationship before I... Read More
