Gallup Finds the Quality of Managers and Team Leaders is the Single Biggest Factor in Your Organization's Long-term Success
There’s no doubt that millennials are disrupting the way we work. These bright sparks, born between 1980 and 1996, are changing how we communicate, travel, shop, and entertain ourselves.
But, in this era of massive change, there’s a problem. The old styles of management don’t work anymore, and the approaches that suited older generations just don’t cut it.
Millennials want employers who recognize that they don’t simply come to work for a paycheck, they come to work for a purpose.
The key message here is: To get the best from this dynamic generation, you need to make changes to the way you run your workplace.
Younger workers need meaning in their jobs, and want to work for companies that make a positive impact on the world. Whereas their baby boomer parents found meaning through family and within their communities, millennials and Generation Z find their purpose through work. So if you want to attract and retain the best people, you need to build a workplace culture around making a difference.
Millennials also aren’t very interested in job satisfaction in the typical sense. What they really care about is career progression. They’re not swayed by the foosball tables and luxury coffee machines that many companies now offer as standard. In fact, they find these perks patronizing. What millennials want is for you to help them move up the career ladder. They don’t care whether or not you give them a free lunch.
It may come as a surprise to learn that most millennials don’t really want you to manage them at all, they would much rather that you coach them. Instead of an old-fashioned boss who controls and commands, younger employees want leaders who understand their strengths, and can help build on them so they get better at their jobs.
And traditional bosses aren’t all that millennials are rejecting. As it turns out, they don’t want annual performance reviews, either. Instead, they want much more regular feedback from their managers – which makes sense, given that millennials and Generation Z are used to instant communication through things like texts and tweets. Just remember to focus on their strengths, not their weaknesses. Millennials like to know what they’re doing well so that they can do more of it.
It’s the Manager (2019) outlines the latest workplace research from Gallup. It explores what good leadership looks like in the modern age, and how managers can get the best out of the people they lead.
The right selection decisions establish a culture of high performance.
Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.
Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.
Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll
Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.
Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
Hol dir mit Blinkist die besten Erkenntnisse aus mehr als 7.000 Sachbüchern und Podcasts. In 15 Minuten lesen oder anhören!
