I've seen "your typical Millennial" that gives every manager a stomach ulcer:-(

However, I've also seen young people of Millennial age, and there is absolutely "nothing millennial" about them. I tell them: "What sort of a Millennial are you? There is nothing Millennial about you! You are giving the rest of them Millennials a bad name:-) You know what, as far as being a Millennial is concerned, you are FIRED!" They giggle and tell me: "Thanks, that's the best compliment I've ever got."

Did you know, "Not All Millennials are like that!"? As a leadership coach, I've coached and trained 4 different types of Millennials...

On a scale from 1 to 10, just exactly how frustrated are you, when it comes to managing millennials on your team? 11? or maybe 12?

I am sorry:

You hired the wrong person:-)

You did not set the right "frame" for the relationship between you and your employees - you allowed your employees to take control of the narrative.

What are the 4 different types of Millennials?

What are the 2 criteria you should use to evaluate millennials?

What are the 4 different types of Millennials?

For your current employees who are millennials:

Which ones should be promoted?

Which ones should be coached?

Which ones should be "utilized"?

Which ones should be fired?

If you want to solve this challenge:

You need to do/learn/hear what is necessary!

And what you need to hear (not what you want to hear) are outside of your current awareness, they are outside of your current comfort zone. But you have a long history of expanding your comfort zone, right?

You are not the sort of person who spends 100% of their intellectual, mental and emotional energy fighting to stay inside their comfort zone, are you? The type of person who insists on only hearing what they want to hear, and refuses to hear what they need to hear? What do we call that kind of a person? A "Millennial"? :-)
