This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a complete blueprint for managing and leading the millennial generation. As we continue to take over the workforce, leaders should begin to understand what makes millennials tick and why we are so different than any other generation to come before and after. Why are millennials called lazy or entitled? What motivated millennials? How has social media transformed our way of thinking? Millennial Influence covers all of the questions and more while offering the reader some history and actionable strategies to enable them to understand better and guide millennials. For millennials looking to increase their influence, there is information on how millennial can better communicate, relate, and interact with other generations to increase work productivity. Millennial Influence is an excellent book for a light Sunday or lunch break read. "As the first book in this series, my focus was on providing insight that both millennials and other generations could use, today," says D'Vaughn Bell. He explains how his motivation for the book stems from "not spending a minute in college" and his thirst for entrepreneurship. "Entrepreneurship grants us more failures than any job ever will. This ideology is why entrepreneurs make for better business coaches and consultants. I want my book to inspire anyone looking to start a business or exceed on the corporate ladder. I may not have the experience of working directly 'for' but have worked directly 'with' many companies of all sizes." Aside from being the first generation of digital influencers, millennials are tech-savvy, constructive feedback thirsty little machines. Once business leaders and managers can grasp this concept, they can craft dominating workforces of a success-driven generation. There's a common misconception that millennials are lazy. "We're not lazy, we're just more aware of what is possible and aren't settling for social security, pension, 401K, a wide, dog, and a white picket fence." Grab your digital copy of Millennial Influence and leverage a proven way to manage, lead, and work with the different generations in the workplace.

Book excerpt: *GOLD AWARD WINNER* -- Nonfiction Author's Association ★★★★★ “ 'Wise Millennial' is enrapturing, edifying and transporting.” -- Reader’s Favorite ★★★★ “An engaging and articulate self-help book, Wise Millennial combines personal storytelling and guidance and will resonate with its target generation” -- Clarion Review “Lively, appealing, and instructive; perfectly targeted to the millennial demographic.” -- Kirkus Review Who the hell is Peter Darrow? Health and wellness entrepreneur Peter Darrow thought he had life all figured out. A native of the posh and privileged Upper East Side, the young millennial lived large--attending elite schools, throwing lavish birthday parties, and spending summers in the Hamptons. Then one day his seemingly perfect, polished life came crashing down. Over the course of three hellacious years, his father died, he inherited and burned through a shit-ton of money, his girlfriend dumped him, and his first ever business floundered. One morning he found himself looking in the mirror thinking, Whose life am I living anyway? After thousands of hours of therapy, introspection, and meditation, Peter exchanged entitlement for humility and his parents' worldview for one authentically his own. His tragic crash course in the meaning of life revealed that true wealth and happiness are not found in affluence and privilege but within oneself and within healthy relationships with others. This is his story . . . In this book, you will learn: - What it was like for Peter to grow up in Manhattan's Upper East Side - How to overcome heartbreak when dealing with the loss of a parent, a failed relationship, or an unsuccessful business endeavor - About the grueling stresses of the restaurant industry, and an inside perspective on what it's like to be an owner - The unique world of online dating and how to cultivate more meaningful relationships - How millennials can break free from their parents' outdated values and their self-obsessed egos so they can discover their personal truths and live fulfilling, authentic lives ... and many other fascinating insights from a young, entitled, and privileged human being who now sees the world differently through loss, disappointment, and failure. "A powerful set of ruminations that are likely to hit many millennials of privilege where they live...and help start them on journeys that are likely to be both interesting and useful. Wise Millennial gives readers lots to think about." -- Len Schlesinger, President Emeritus-Babson College, Baker Foundation Professor, Harvard Business School "Millennials are given a bad rap--lazy, entitled, generally bad at life. But my generation is so much stronger and wiser than you might think, and Wise Millennial proves that! Peter gives an inside take that's alternatively hilarious, poignant, and inspiring for millennials and the people who love them." -- Nicole Lapin, New York Times bestselling author of Rich Bitch and Boss Bitch "The millennial generation is reminiscent of the baby boom generation: it is already wielding enormous influence over every facet of American culture, society, politics, and economics--and yet, it is poorly if at all understood by the generations that preceded it. In Wise Millennial, Peter N. Darrow offers insights based on hard-won personal experience and assiduous academic study that make the thoughts, dreams, wants, and desires of the millennial generation understandable at long last."-- Harry Hurt III, award-winning journalist and author of Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump

Download or read book The Millennial Leader written by Vivek Iyyani and published by Penguin Random House Sea. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ultimate Guide for every Millennial who's moving into management Millennials will be our next great generation of leaders. They are quickly filling executive and management roles at all levels. If you're one of them, you're probably leading not just your peers, but also Baby Boomers, Gen Xers (who have been around much longer than you) and of course, the new kids on the block, the Gen Zs. The younger generation of leaders are rejecting old school leadership practices outright, forcing organizations to rethink and reshape the way leaders lead. Leadership no longer demands a corner office, an official title or even a physical workplace. The terms 'boss' and 'supervisor' sound foreign to today's employees. Effective leaders are described as inspiring influencers, mentors and advocates today. Millennial leaders face the ultimate challenge of overcoming generational differences, reverse ageism, motivating an isolated, remote, gig and burnt- out workforce, while juggling all the responsibilities and expectations as a leader.

Download or read book The Trophy Kids Grow Up written by Ron Alsop and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first wave of the Millennial Generation—born between 1980 and 2001—is entering the work force, and employers are facing some of the biggest management challenges they’ve ever encountered. They are trying to integrate the most demanding and most coddled generation in history into a workplace shaped by the driven baby-boom generation. Like them or not, the millennials are America future work force. They are actually a larger group than the boomers—92 million vs. 78 million. The millennials are truly trophy kids, the pride and joy of their parents who remain closely connected even as their children head off to college and enter the work force. Millennials are a complex generation, with some conflicting characteristics. Although they’re hard working and achievement oriented, most millennials don’t excel at leadership and independent problem solving. They want the freedom and flexibility of a virtual office, but they also want rules and responsibilities to be spelled out explicitly. “It’s all about me,” might seem to be the mantra of this demanding bunch of young people, yet they also tend to be very civic-minded and philanthropic. This book will let readers meet the millennials and learn how this remarkable generation promises to stir up the workplace and perhaps the world. It 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. Clearly, the millennials represent a new breed of student, worker, and global citizen, and this book explores in depth their most salient attributes, particularly as they are playing out in the workplace. It also describes how companies are changing tactics to recruit millennials in the Internet age and looks at some of this generation’s dream jobs.

Book excerpt: Up and coming millennial entrepreneur, business coach and consultant D'Vaughn Bell wrote a guide focused on helping Gen Y leaders and managers. As the CEO of Marqui Management, Bell faces leading and managing employees of different age groups. His strategies are also called upon when other businesses outsource their marketing and consulting services to Bell's agency. Millennials are often recognized as needy, impatience, and spoiled. Though that may be true for some, it is also true for other generations as well. These common stereotypes prevent those in leadership roles from effectively communicating, leading, and managing millennials in the workplace. Bell's articles on business, leadership, and management fundamentals are combined with his relevant experience and leadership insights for the modern day Millennial to help leaders develop an inspiring organizational culture and achieve a happy work-life balance. He uncovers key historical aspects, research, and stories for this practical, informative style guide for leaders at all levels. While specifically focusing on the mindset of millennials and what makes them tick, Millennial Leadership will inspire all those who aspire to lead and manage with greatness. Using other success businesspeople and executives' examples to highlight his ideas along with studies, surveys, and third-party research, Bell believes leaders from any generation can learn something from his book. His external perspective on the way a millennial thinks and operates make it an enjoyable read for any age group or leadership style.

Download or read book Project Rebirth written by Dr. Robin Stern and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-08-18 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in conjunction with the documentary Rebirth, a full decade in the making, an uplifting look at the lives of nine individuals whose lives were forever changed by the largest tragedy our nation has ever faced. The images of the burning towers, the heartbroken friends building memorials, the minute-by-minute accounts of the horrors of that day-all are indelibly etched on our collective consciousness. But what of those left behind after 9/11? What have they, and we, learned from the gift of time? In Project Rebirth, a psychologist and a journalist examine the lives of nine people who were directly affected by the events of September 11, 2001. Written concurrently with the filming of a forthcoming documentary, it is uniquely positioned to tackle the questions raised about how people react in the face of crippling grief, how you maintain hope for a future when your life as you knew it is destroyed, and the amazing ability of humans to focus on the positive aspects of day-to-day living in the face of tragedy. The project follows people dedicated to rebuilding, both physically and emotionally. Spirituality, resilience, and hope are at the center of their stories. Brian, who lost his firefighter brother, spent two years working at Ground Zero and then helped to rebuild the PATH train station. Tanya, who lost her fiancée on 9/11, finds new love, new life, and joy as a mother in the years following, all doors she thought closed to her forever. Not a book that recounts the events of that day, and not a book about grief, Project Rebirth is a book about resilience and finding inner peace.

This book is for those who will fill the gap as Traditionalists and Baby Boomer leaders retire.

I Think, You Think, We All Think, Differently, addresses the struggles each generation must overcome to work together and find solutions to challenges in our governmental and corporate leadership.
