This chapter explores the unique characteristics of millennials, such as their need for feedback, virtual connections, teamwork, diversity, and independence, and the challenges leaders face in meeting these needs. It discusses Millennials' different approach to knowledge in the workplace, the tension between tradition and innovation, the importance of proactive conflict resolution, and the impact of generational differences on employee engagement. The conversation also offers advice for leaders on engaging and motivating younger employees by tapping into their sense of purpose and providing a healthy level of challenge.
Welcome to the eighth episode of Coaching Skills for Leaders! This week's topic: How to Coach the Millennials (Part 2).
One of the biggest challenges I hear from leaders today is how to coach this new generation of young people entering the workforce. I cite current statistics from the Fall 2011 edition of the Leader to Leader Journal.
