viewpoints of this generation when they not only don’t
come from it but clearly are not very close to it.

Working with Millennials
Get used to this.
Millennials encourage being flexible. Many
of them tend to work late. They would be
comfortable working 6pm to 2am rather than
9am to 5pm.

19. Working with Millennials
Rethink
the word
“Manage”
Millennials have been managed their entire life.
They crave opportunities to make their own
decisions instead of having it made for them.
Millennials are looking for leaders. Talk to them
face to face. Involve millennials in the
brainstorming sessions. Set productive
expectations for them. Let them work it to the end
without micromanaging.
