Here is a great article that shows how the business landscape is changing. This HBR article sets up a situation and then allows three featured commentators adds their perspective (one of which is my father-in-law).
The situation shows how a structured process, time proven, is interrupted by a new Gen Y employee and the reaction of his manager. How would you deal with the situation?
After you read the article, think about these questions:
- This WILL happen to you in some form. How will you deal with it when you are presented with a similar situation?
- Gen Y wants to communicate and learn differently. Is your company ready – culturally – to deal (accept) that?
Other thoughts on Gen Y found here.
