A recruiter told me the other day about a young girl (degree qualified) who had been at her job for three weeks, was asked to make tea for the boss, got the cranks and quit!
Sounds ridiculous, and just a little extreme, but would this occur in your workplace? If the answer is yes, then pay attention:
Gen Y in the workplace can be just a little cocky, impatient and often have short attention spans. Yet at the same time they can be very passionate about your cause, adapt easily to change and embrace new technologies.
So what do you do to make the most of your talent?
Encourage participation in decision making, coach (rather than dictate) in your management style, motivate with flexible conditions,and reward with recognition. However, most importantly, you still need to set specific boundaries and be clear in your expectations of them, you're still the boss after all.
