We see changes around us all the time. Some things change so often we become blissfully unaware. One of those areas of rapid change is the people making up the workforce. With the challenges facing the economy, and Baby Boomers retiring in record numbers, leaders face challenges in the next decade. What changes do you need to make? How do you transition to a younger workforce? Why are Millennials important to your business?

Millennials have a different view of life than Baby Boomers, Gen-Xers or other past generations. They have grown up in a world where technology and immediate communication are common. They live every part of their life with the mindset of finding ways to make work easier, faster, more flexible and efficient. Their view of technology is transforming the way we live and work.

Millennials view leadership in a new way too. They see business as having a much wider impact on society. They value different characteristics in their leaders. Personality matters.
