• gap between businesses and workers is widening
• Is it the millennial?
• The discontent generation - highest unemployment
• largest generation
• least engaged
• 3x more job changes
• Values through the ages: - Industrial Age (creation)
• Information Age (efficiency) - “automation allows us to automate the automaters”
• Relational Age (outcome) - businesses will succeed if they deliver outcomes to people that they desire in their life
• workers will want jobs that deliver outcomes that they want in their life
• Gen X/Boomers want success, advance, independence, goals, & results Millenials and Gen Z want gifts, passion, fulfillment, and growth
• You don’t need a new business you need a new interface that focuses on impact, passion, & beliefs. How? 1. State your passion: How do you impact the world?
• Align on outcomes: What’s our shared interest?
• Give them a voice: Innovation through risk, risk through trust – Alignment!
• Create advocates: Let them wear the T-shirt (employee advocates)
• Growth through coaching: let them drive (They will care AND it will free you)
• Believe: People follow people (as a leader, you must believe in what you do)
• Doing this will allow you to outperform everyone else
