About PASSIONATE PERFORMANCE... Today's performance problems (or lack of passionate performance) are more about management than employees; employees are not lazy - they are uninspired. Personalize it for a minute - If I were to ask how willing are you to do your best in a workplace that did not respond to your needs, or for a manager who did not express any interest in you as a person, or for a job that had no clear definition of the future? Would you give it your all? Most likely you would not. So you see performance problems are more about management than employees. We continue to use outdated and ineffective management methods to activate employees and drive performance; the results are consistently poor at best. Time for a change.
Take Action
It is important to have a team of great people; after all, your people are your profits. But having the right people isn't the full story. The more important task of the millennial manager is to understand employees well enough to know how to "cast" them in the right roles. That means that a truly successful millennial manager commits to spending the time getting to know his/her people; this is the only way to start the process of understanding their talents and skills and what they need, value and want from their jobs.
