The #1 challenge facing leaders today is one of “human capital.”
A couple of years ago, I attended in Dallas hosted by Jeffrey Hayzlett of Bloomberg TV The C-Suite I sat down and interviewed many top level “C” Suite individuals and ask them about their challenges, which of course included “how do you keep top talent?”
As I intently listened, all too often I heard the struggles of dealing with the “extreme screen time” generation… the Millennials. Two years later and executives are still struggling with keeping Millennials fiercely loyal.
After that event I wrote an article about it: You can read the full article here
During my time there I got to interview 3 outstanding Millennial men who are doing extraordinary things. The interview is up on iTunes on my Leadership and Loyalty Tips for Executives podcast Click here:http://dovbaron.podomatic.com/entry/2014-05-16T17_36_10-07_00
Without watching the interview I can tell you is this; if you are looking to tighten your grip and control these Millennials, you are going the way of the dinosaur.
This year ‘Deloitte surveyed nearly 7,700 Millennials from 29 countries during September and October 2015 to learn more about Millennials’ values and ambitions, drivers of job satisfaction, and their increasing representation in senior management teams.' The discovery, two-thirds of Millennials express a desire to leave their organizations by 2020.
So let me ask you; as a C-Suite leader what are you actively doing to both engage and keep your up and coming top Millennial talent Fiercely Loyal?
With gratitude,
