Our Millennial on Millennials: Review of Simon Sinek's "The Millennial Question"
by Hope Sonam, TLG VP Talent Solutions
When asked to write an article for this month’s newsletter which focuses on my generation, the millennial generation, I had a harder time than usual deciding on a direction for the piece. Admittedly, I know that when speaking about millennials, I can get a bit defensive and passive aggressive because it is no secret that folks love to throw shade
(a bit of millennial lingo for you)
at us when it comes to how we operate in the workplace. When I hear the term ‘millennial’, I know that what is soon to follow in the majority of conversations is related to the labels that have been so lovingly bestowed upon us such as entitled, lazy, self-interested, tough to manage, unmotivated, non-committal and the list goes on.
But what people rarely consider or discuss is the WHY behind what shaped this generation and the circumstances under which we developed… and here comes the passive aggressiveness… the circumstances that were in fact created by previous generations.

Seek to Understand
by Tino Mantella, President & CEO TLG
This month’s theme is not the easiest for me. First, I don’t like labels and between my team here at TLG and my Millennial son it’s clear that Millennials, in general, don’t like to be labeled either. And, before I go further allow me to make a blanket statement – every person is unique and each of us have developed as a creature of our environment. Family structure, region of the world, income status, friends, teachers, mentors, and many other factors contribute to what we become. There are Boomers that I know that fit the stereotype of Millennials and vice-versa.

The Truth about Generational Differences
|
|
by Anne Quiello, Senior Consultant TLG
My husband, who is a leader from the Boomer generation, was asked to sit on a panel representing various generations to discuss generational differences in the workplace. A Millennial panel member challenged my husband as being unwilling and unable to adapt.
“Your generation won’t adapt to the way we want to work. Why should we come in and work from 8-5, Mon-Fri, as long as we get our work done?”
My husband’s response went something like this:

What We are Reading at TLG

A report on the survey suggests it’s no surprise millennials and Gen Z are the most coveted pools of job candidates since they “make up roughly half of the world’s population” and are “the newest generations on the scene.”

Over the past 50 years – from the Silent Generation’s young adulthood to that of Millennials today – the United States has undergone large cultural and societal shifts. Now that the youngest Millennials are adults, how do they compare with those who were their age in the generations that came before them?

It's time to end the negative "millennial vs. baby boomer" narrative.

Millennials
are job market darlings
by Andrew Seaman LinkedIn
|
Millennials will likely have the best luck in the job market over the next few years,
according to new LinkedIn data
. Nearly three-quarters of 2,406 U.S. hiring managers surveyed said they plan to focus recruiting efforts on millennials over the next five years. The younger Gen Z and the older Gen X were the second and third priorities for respondents. The move makes sense since millennials and Gen Zers make up roughly half the world’s population and 10,000 baby boomers retire each day,
