Young Talent: Engagement and the Hiring Process

Engagement is one of the most crucial aspects of retention, management and development and all too often, we fail at this process. One of our biggest failures is often at the beginning of engagement, the hiring process, where we present the job/role in a shiny box with a big bow so that the potential candidate can’t resist. I suggest unwrapping that box, leaving the price tag on and having a candid discussion about the good, the bad and the ugly aspects of the job, including:

Words of Wisdom to a Gen Y Manager...

So, you find yourself in the position of managing a team and some people on that team are old enough to be your mom or dad or older brother/sister.

Are you getting resistance?

Are people listening to you?

Are people being somewhat passive -aggressive?

Have you heard the comment, “You’re young enough to be my daughter/son!”

Maybe none of this has happened and everything is going great. Whatever your situation may be, self-reflection and development are always warranted so take a moment to read through the following sounds tips for young managers…

Help! My Boss is Young Enough to Be My Kid!

If you find yourself in a situation where you are reporting to someone who could technically be your son or daughter, it may be a difficult situation to cope with. Here are some sound tips to make the best of the situation...

Advice to the boomer employee reporting to the Gen-Y boss:

Let go of your ego: Resisting change will only harm your career and make you less valuable.

On-Boarding: You Can’t Set Sail Without It

I’m reflecting back on the days when I worked in corporate America, specifically sitting through the orientation process. I learned a great deal about the company’s values, mission, vision and of course, the policies and procedures. What I didn’t learn about was what impact I could potentially have on the company, more specifically the power potential that existed in my role.

The Evolution of Organizations: Finding the Best of Both Worlds

The demographic landscape in corporate America is rapidly and radically changing. More and more Generation Y employees are entering the workforce while the Boomers are making their plans for retirement. The corporate culture that we are familiar with, a culture that embraces hierarchy, corporate politics, loyalty, and promotion based on tenure, was created by the Boomers and Traditionalists. However, with new blood comes new demands and new expectations of what the workplace should offer and the role that work should play in our lives.

Time Management Tips

Let’s cut to the chase. Here are some useful time management strategies to start incorporating into your daily routine today to turn the “I can’t get it all done” into “I’m plowing through my to-do list like no-one’s business.”

*Keep in mind, these are pretty basic, common sense suggestions that we all know, but we all fall into the trap of NOT doing*

Why can’t I seem to get this to-do list done?

Ever notice that the time you allot to completing your tasks on your to-do list always seems to take three times longer than you planned? I was complaining to a friend the other day about this same issue, catastrophizing that, “it’s never going to all get done” because everything takes so much longer than planned. This wise friend of mine said to me, “Getting things done in the time you’ve allotted to get them done is just luck.

The Entrepreneur's Dilemma

So, you’re an entrepreneur, which probably means that you accomplish more by than most people accomplish in a week.. Your to-do list most likely creates a series of flutters in your stomach every time you pop it out to add yet another task. And the “fires”…oh, the fires. How many do you put out in any given day? How frequently do you start your day out with great intentions only to be pulled in many different directions hosing them down?

Why Should I Care About Helicopter Parents? Part II: The Strategies

Armed with this information, what can you do to help cut the umbilical cord and increase self-management skills and behaviors in your Gen Y employee?

Why should I care about helicopter parents?

Of course we’ve all heard the stories of HR managers, hiring managers or bosses receiving phone calls or “drop ins” by parents advocating (or complaining) on their adult child’s behalf.

You should hear college professors talk about this. Corporate America has had its share of dealing with the hovering helicopter parent. Despite the irritation of dealing with an adult’s parents questioning you, why else should this concern you?
