4 Strategies for Success
In this 30 minute webinar Markku shares 4 effective and simple strategies for success for managers who work with Millennials.
- Identify the organization’s style.
- Don’t jump to conclusions based on negative stereotypes.
- Equip all managers to adjust their communication styles in order to deal more effectively with all employees.
- Have Millennials partner with those in other age groups, such as Baby Boomers and Gen X colleagues.
Implications for Managers
Millennials and all employees communicate in diverse ways. The organization’s direct line of communication comes through the individual’s direct manager. As the saying goes, employees don’t quit their companies; they quit their bosses. To limit costly turnover—and help all employees succeed—managers need to understand people’s communication styles and interact with them accordingly. Can managers and organizations afford not to?
Provide Managers with The Right Tools
Successful companies are aware of this trend and are adjusting their approach to management and leadership accordingly. Forward-thinking strategy includes equipping managers with information that helps them communicate more effectively with employees of all generations.
