Recommendation

In a chummy, sometimes ungainly panel, leadership consultant Simon Sinek and Wharton professor Adam Grant discuss millennials in the workplace. Journalist Katie Couric moderates, tossing in a moment of strong language among her questions and anecdotes. getAbstract suggests that Sinek’s insights, combined with Grant’s ample research and data, make this a talk you won’t want to miss.

Take-Aways

  • Like other generations, millennials yearn for a family and community, as well as meaningful work that sustains their lifestyles.
  • Millennials must stop searching endlessly for the ideal job and learn to cultivate it. At the same time, companies need to improve their cultures to put people first.
  • Childhood influences such as helicopter parents and omnipresent technology have made many millennials insecure and addicted to their devices. They lack needed social skills, such as empathy and listening ability.
