Tips for managers of younger workers
Rainmaker Thinking has a short mind map about things every manager needs to know about retaining younger workers. The reality of the workplace has changed and you no longer have employees that will stay with your organization for life but they will work their butts off for you while they are there. This generation is looking to solve previously unsolvable challenges in the workforce and will use new technologies and the experiences of their networks to do so. Learning how to harness the talents of this generation will be the new challenge for managers.

Great info, Trista! The last two posts definitely seem to ring true at my various places of employment. I don’t think our generation would need to be so “transactional” about careers if more managers could take some of this advice to heart. At the same time, I can see how the transition to more personalized modes of management doesn’t appeal to some managers–spells more work for them!
