Leadership, Teamwork and the "Generation Global"
July 12, 2012
Many Boomers in management and supervisory roles have expressed the challenges of leading "Gen-Y" and "Millennials" (click here).
Some are calling the newest generation to enter the work for "Globals" and National Public Radio has an interesting report on this generation. CLICK HERE to access the free recording.
Are you wondering how to lead this generation? Motivation wont' work. This generation is all about INSPIRATION. Do you know the difference between "motivation" and "inspiration"? Your success and the success of your team/organization will depend on your understanding of this distinction. Read about the "Inspiration Economy" in my open letter at the IATF Leader As Coach Fast Track Program website.
