- Rita King Every generation probably contains the same number of lazy people, ambitious people, smart people, etc. This generation has an unprecedented ability to work together faster, and in serving this desire, companies actually strengthen themselves significantly and should take the opportunity to do so. The most meaningful difference in this generation is that its ambitious, smart members have more talent and power than an army.
- Legendary Lifestyle Academy Companies in this day and age need to ‘move faster’ to make decisions. In today’s market, there is so much competition...good competition that should spark quick action. I’ve seen many exciting accounts lost to slow moving decision-makers.
- John Bladt I work with a lot of millennials and I really do not see much difference between the way they work and everyone else. A lot of millennials are in their 30s now. Married, families, homes, mortgages. I really wish people would stop promoting “millennial attributes” as if they are something no one, even boomers, do not have.
- Eric Key Generational data is nice where broad strokes are concerned. We always have to be mindful of where new ideas meet the facts of life.
