How to Get Gen Y “Plugged In”
Written by Buddy Hobart on August 19th, 2009
We have been receiving several messages from folks who have read the book and have begun to apply the Gen Y Now strategies. The following is a sample of a reader’s experience.
“After reading the book I found it to relate very well to what I’ve experienced thus far in managing/leading this generation. As a matter of fact, it was the impetus for taking our newest hire to lunch on Friday. Not surprisingly, her simple request was to ask me what our organizational objectives were going forward such that she could plug into that concept. I further found out her interest in data mining for marketing purposes (not her current role in the organization) and I indicated that it would fit well with our next initiative as she frees up some time with her primary role. Even more amazing, we found out we each have Italian heritage and relatives that settled in the same coal mining town at the turn of the century.”
My bet is these two folks now have a greater understanding of each others vision, will work harder for each other to achieve the visions, and they have a personal bond that will connect them for some time to come. That sounds like a plugged in employee and one that will give her all to the cause.
