This post's theme comes to you from NPR. That's what I get for listening to a story while trying to think of a topic. As I was listening to "Poll Examines Attitudes of Millennial Generation," I decided to do this month's Variation on a Theme on the generation of which I am a part.
Oddly, according to a PEW Research quiz, I am only 52% millennial.
Also, for the record, it upsets me how much this books rely on the stereotype of the Millennials being self-important, selfish, and entitled. Methinks someone needs to write a book making the counterargument to that negative image.
The Trophy Kids Grow Up: How the Millennial Generation is Shaking Up the Workplace
Ron Alsop
Apparently my generation is demanding and coddled, and this has caused problems to the workplace as a whole. This book is all about the common traits of the Millennial Generation and how to deal with their "issues" in the workplace. And by issues, the books means our reach toward the common good through civic and philanthropic end goals. The book "provides a rich portrait of the Millennials, told through the eyes of Millennials themselves and from the perspectives of their parents, educators, psychologists, recruiters, and corporate managers."
Keeping the Millennials: Why Companies are Losing Billions in Turnover to this Generation - And What to do About It
Joanne Sujansky and Jan Ferri-Reed
The workplace likes the Millennial Generation for their "tech-savvy, energetic work ethos, and young, hip attitude." What they don't like is how we don't stay in one place for very long. This book explores how Millennials do not share the traditional values of the Boomer generation, and why this causes such a high turn-over rate in the workplace. The book also offers advice on how to attract and keep the Millennials on staff.
Managing the Millennials: Discover the Core Competencies for Managing Today's Workforce
Chip Espinoza, Mick Ukeja, and Craig Rusch
You've hired us; now, you have to manage us. Fun! This book explores how to motivate your twenty-something employees. It uses interviews, case studies, and research-backed ideas throughout the text to support its point. This book is probably a valuable tool to someone who has a young staff but needs ideas of how to keep them working.
The M-factor: Why the Millennial Generation Is Rocking the Workplace and How You Can Turn Their Great Expectations into Even Greater Results
Lynne Lancaster and David Stillman
That's right. We rule. Due out soon, this book explores the clash of generations in the workplace. When Millennials enter the workplace, you don't just get the employee... you often times get their helicopter parents as well. This book uses surveys, interviews, and case studies to highlight how the generational clash can effect a company or industry.
Generation We: How Millennial Youth are Taking Over America and Changing Our World Forever
Eric Greenberg and Karl Weber
Finally! A book that doesn't assume Millennials are nothing but disruptive egoists. Generation We takes a more anthropological and social take on the Millennials. The book "explores the emerging power of the Millennial Generation, shows how the Millennials... are poised to change our nation and our world for the better, and lays out a powerful plan for progressive change that today s youth is ready to implement."
Millennials Rising: The Next Great Generation
Neil Howe and William Strauss
This book takes a positive tone as well. It discusses how Millennials are actually hard workers and community builders. Beyond that, the book discusses how Millennials view and wish to shape their social and political world.
