About this audiobook
As a millennial herself, Crystal Kadakia gives baby boomers and Gen Xers an inside look into the true value of their millennial colleagues in the workplace. She shows that the key to managing millennials is understanding that they are a product of their fast-paced, technology-driven environment.
Despite the countless books written on the subject of managing millennials (most often authored by nonmillennials), no one has until now diagnosed the real issue of generational differences in the workplace: generations do not define themselves; their environment defines them.
The five main traits attributed to millennials-entitled, lazy, disrespectful, and disloyal-are misguided assumptions that Kadakia argues are actually positive attributes that every business and industry should internalize. The five "faults" are in fact give qualities of the evolved workplace and worker. Millennials are simply reflecting the fast-changing environment around them. Therefore, understanding millennials is not just about managing a generation; it is about seeing the future of business as changing at an exponential rate and making the necessary adjustments to remain vital and competitive.
Kadakia's mindset shift details the ways in which businesses can evolve their thinking to include technological advances as well as support the technological thinker, otherwise known as the millennial. This book not only is a guide to managing millennials but can also influence the development of business as a whole.
