Do you feel as if the older you
get, the younger
they
seem? The twenty-something employees keep coming, and
each year they seem younger. And each year, the gap
between you and the twenty-somethings you’re
working with gets wider, and the leadership 
chasm deepens.
Twenty-somethings are entering the workforce and
frustrating forty- and fifty-something managers with
their
apparent lack of motivation, their carefree
attitude, and their
unwillingness to tolerate a work environment that
doesn’t meet their seemingly unreasonable
demands.
Do you find yourself working with twenty-somethings and
confused by them? Whether they’re in the role of your
subordinate, client, friend, or (my heavens!) your
supervisor,
knowing what is important to them will make those
relationships stronger.
As the American workforce ages, companies have no
choice
but to hire the next generation of Millennials. The
challenge
is that Generation X, the Boomers, and the veterans
have
little more than a clue how to deal with them. I
have lost
count of how many forty-, fifty-, and sixty-something
managers have asked me, “What do I do about these kids?
How do I motivate them, and how do I retain my great
talent?”
Many of these twenty-somethings are very talented,
and they
know it. They also know that their skills and
knowledge are
in high demand. They are not motivated by antiquated
management or dictatorial leadership techniques, and
they
won’t tolerate any of that. If they encounter these
situations,
they know there’s another company right down the street
that will treat them better. They often don’t
hesitate to look
for greener pastures.
What? You don’t think you’re the one who needs to
make the
adjustment? Pack your bags or close the shop now;
this tension
is not going away, and the “old folks” are going to
have to be
the ones to make the adjustment. Here are your choices:
change or flounder.

Coaching skills are the emerging force behind the next generation of successful leaders.
Coaching provides a powerful framework to transform a
leader’s valuable knowledge and skills into focused
relationships that respect people at the deepest level.
Leaders with truly effective coaching skills achieve
significantly better results. Employees produce better work,
stay longer, and contribute more to the organization in many
other ways.
Coaching Tools for Leaders: The
UH Executive Coaching Institute offers
motivated, results-driven professionals the tools to achieve
and sustain excellence. Coaching Tools Fundamentals
, the core of the 60-hour certificate program and a
prerequisite for the remaining modules and workshops,
introduces and activates professional coaching tools that are
must-haves for high-performing leaders. Other workshops to
be offered throughout the year build on the foundational
training with hands-on, practical learning that will lead to
improved interactions and outcomes.
