Don’t even try to manage Millennials, lead them. They must be
inspired and enabled through BRAVE leadership.

30. Millennials are “primed to do well by doing good.” For Millennials,
work must have meaning. They won’t commit to you or to the
organization. They will commit to a meaningful, good for others
cause.
B.Values-Purpose
With the Internet, information is always available. But it is a raw,
unfiltered, incomplete flood that needs to be assessed and
merged with experience and skills to be practically useful
A. Environment-Context

31. 32
Any communication with Millennials must be wrapped in respect.
You must say you respect them. You must act with respect. You
must truly respect them. In general, they deserve your respect.
They have knowledge and skills that the other generations can
learn from.
D.Relationships-Message
Millennials “have a wonderful ‘can-do’ attitude and positive
personal self-image”. This can be utilized to everyone’s advantage
by encouraging them, being careful neither to squash their
ambitions nor put up artificial boundaries.
C. Attitude-Strategy
Teacher-Advisers as Second Parents

32. Treat Millennials with the same respect with which you want
them to treat you. Give them access to information. Forget
“need to know” limitations. They hunger to know what’s going on
and how their jobs fit into the organization’s purpose –which
should have a component that betters the world.
E.Behavior –Implementation

33. Henry is 11 years old and attends an Elementary School
which is located a few blocks from his home. He is in the
sixth grade and is an average student. Henry has always
been a bit shy and somewhat anxious around his peers.
He just moved to this city 3 months ago and has not yet
made any friends at the new school, though he does
have a "best friend" at his old school. Henry is quite tall
and thin for his age and is very self-conscious about his
appearance.
CASE STUDY

34. Over the past month, Henry has become increasingly
withdrawn. Several weeks ago he came home with a
tear in his favorite jacket. When his mother asked him
what happened, he hurriedly said it was an accident. He
goes straight to his room after school and shuts the
door.
CASE STUDY
Teacher-Advisers as Second Parents

35. His mother has noticed that he has become more
irritable and is often tearful, but when she tries to talk to
him about this, he tells her to go away. She is worried
about him but, thinks this is a phase he's going through
because they've just moved to a new city, etc. She also
worries about making Henry too dependent on her if
she gets too involved in his problems.
CASE STUDY

36. You hear through others that Henry is being teased by
his classmates several times a week. In particular, two
children -a girl and a boy, make fun of the way he looks
and have convinced most of his classmates to avoid
him at lunch.
CASE STUDY

37. Does a problem exist? If so, what is it?
How could you encourage Henry to talk about what is
happening?
Who are the people you may want to talk to about this
problem?
Who are the bullies? The victim? The witnesses?
What are some of the warning signs Henry displays?
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

38. 39
Does it make you feel better to hurt other people or
take their things?
Are you bigger and stronger than other people your
age? Do you sometimes use your size and strength to
get your way?
Have you been bullied by someone in the past and feel
like you have to make up for doing the same thing to
others?
Do you avoid thinking about how other people might
feel if you say or do hurtful things to them?
Ask your student these questions.
