The Millennials are Different Use Those Differences to Your Organization’s Benefit

The M-Generation Has a Desire for Meaning in Life and Work

“We have met the enemy and he is us!” Pogo“Most of us Baby Boomers and GenXers don’t recall creating a disturbance when we entered the market place. We’ve forgotten that the ‘Greatest Generation’ saw us as possibly the end of their dreams and their aspirations for our country. In the 1950s, the comic strip character Pogo even proclaimed we were the enemy!” – Dr. L.

Forthcoming e-book on the M-Generation

Some of you know my work as a behavioral psychologist and a public involvement consultant. What you may not know is that I have known for some time that the day would come when I, as a “Baby Boomer” (born 1950), would have to figure out how to work with the M-Generation. I realized this as I witnessed the M-Generation evolve into the complex people they are, and I foresaw the trials and tribulations that lay ahead for all of us We typically think of this generation as being

Part 7 – The Millennials are different; use those differences to your organization’s benefit

Remember what we have learned from the previous articles about the sociological and psychological make-ups of Millennials? Primarily, this generation has certain behavioral traits and expectations that are well ingrained based on their parental and societal upbringing. Their definition of a “sense of satisfaction” can be defined in three specific ways: They seek to “make a difference” in the world, as many of us did. However, they will engage with anyone at any level who can

Who are these people called the Millenials?

“The best crisis to manage is the one you prevent,” Dr. L. Darryl Armstrong speaking to the National Association of Environmental Professionals You are hiring, like it or not, many members of the Millennial generation (The M-Generation). Most likely you are either a “Baby Boomer” or a “GenXer” doing the hiring. You are thinking that these people must not have grown up in the same world that you did. You think to yourself, we may have a crisis developing, and you have no idea

Millennial sense of entitlement, and enhancing performance in workplace

What is the single greatest complaint leveled against Millennials? Many employers would say a “sense of entitlement” that is entirely out of proportion to this generation’s age and experience. As the authors of “The M-Factor” say, “This generation shows signs of being far too impressed with their own value and importance.” Despite their intelligence and competency in many areas, the Millennial has a lot to learn. But, in a different time in a different way, didn’t we all? Mil
