Managing Millennials For Dummies provides managers (large and small companies) of all ages with hands-on advice and tools for engaging this burgeoning demographic.  Chock full of hands-on information, advice, and personal anecdotes, this essential guide shows managers how to get the most from the somewhat challenging, often misunderstood employees.  The book will cover:

• How to motivate, collaborate with, and ultimately manage the millennial generation
• How to better understand the generational shift occurring in the workplace—from flex schedules, career progression, the new meaning of loyalty
• How to fight Millennial fatigue
• Deal with differing attitudes toward managing one’s own time, texting, social media, organizational structure, clothing preferences, and of course, the all-important, getting on the phone
• Recruit, motivate, engage, and retain the newest new young workforce (youngest and oldest of the generation and the importance between young millennials and older millennials who are about 35)
• Discover best practices through proven strategies, case studies (i.e. best in class examples and what others have done/published, i.e. Google, Netflix, LinkedIn/Top 50 places to work list trends, etc.)
• Explore new research on the second-wave Millennials (’Generation Z’) as well as continuing research on the first-wave Millennials (’Generation Y’)
• Teach Millennials how to manage themselves, help their managers manage them, and how to become new leaders themselves.  Plus the complexities of managing up.
