Don’t manage me, #understandme

You’ve read plenty about Gen Y already. You get it. The generations are wired differently, they work differently and organizations have to adapt. Got it. So, you’ve been working on your adaptation strategies...how’s that working out for you so far? Have you started to see progress within your organization? How about within your department? We know the typical response-it’s out of your direct control, right? What about those factors that are within your control? Have you personally made any changes in the way you manage or interact with Gen Y’s? The simple fact is, you don’t have much time to change. Improving productivity, reducing turnover and building your talent supply chain across younger age groups is imperative for organizational success as we move into the next decade. Take a deep breath, and prepare to stop ＂managing＂ the Gen Y employee, and start ＂understanding＂ them.
