Coaching

For today's executive, success means you must be able to lead a diverse workplace. Teams are no longer homogenous, filled with like-minded people.

Boomers and Gen-Xers face a new challenge—managing millennials. Leadership used to feel more clear-cut. But now, if you want to impact those you lead, you have to adapt your skillset like never before.

In my business, I'm around executives and managers all the time. And the topic of conversation is always the same. It's born out of frustration, bordering on desperation, united around leading millennials.

Here are some struggles I hear from executives every day:

• I don't know how to connect with millennials. I've never struggled so much in my role. Help!?!?
• How do I engage millennials?
• What motivates them in the workplace?
• What incentives or rewards are meaningful to millennials?
• How do I keep my team aligned in the kind of flexible environment they want?
• What company culture helps millennials thrive and how do I create it?

The best way to find answers is with a trusted ally—an ally who “speaks millennial" and understands your leadership challenges.

Without help, here's what you'll face…

Millennials are entering the workforce and that’s only going to rise. This is not a temporary blip. The office won’t ‘go back to normal’ in a year. This is the new reality.

Leaders like you know the importance of adapting. The real challenge for you is this workforce requires some fundamental shifts. Simply put, a new shade of lipstick on your tried-and-true management style will lead to mutiny. The ‘good old days’ are a thing of the past.

There are two kinds of leaders—those who force others to bend or those who bend to serve others. Attempting to lead millennials like you've led before, and expecting the same results is futile. You're setting yourself up for failure and frustration.

Unhappy leaders and unhealthy teams never win!
