Recommendation

A millennial herself, Crystal Kadakia offers a guide that explains her generation – born between 1981 and 1996 – to its older colleagues. She explains millennial behavior and suggests the best ways to engage members of her generation at work. Kadakia compliments older readers who keep an open mind and are willing to learn about millennials. Despite wielding a broad brush, she provides well-researched data, bold insights and a thought-provoking presentation. Perhaps, however, it’s a bit of a millennialist slip to describe her own work as “groundbreaking,” “invaluable” or a “great resource” – although it is a solid resource. getAbstract recommends her insights to executives and managers – including those who are millennials themselves.

Take-Aways

  • Millennials suffer from a stereotypical reputation of being “narcissistic, entitled” and “lazy.”
  • These myths flourish due to faulty perceptions amplified by social media.
  • Millennials want to be as productive as possible.
