Millennials2

     The nature and degree of the differences in generations have become the focus of exhaustive research by both myself and many others. Because I am accountable for creating an effective and harmonious work environment for Millennials, my experience of them has been somewhat different than those of parents, educators or purely academic researchers.

     While many aspects of their behavior may occur for older generations as something between mildly disturbing and wildly alarming, they are in fact refreshing and in some ways frighteningly appropriate adaptations to the environment that created them.

     It is my great honor and privilege to serve as a sort of guide and interpreter for those who realize the value of understanding them. At the same time, I have found myself as their de facto ombudsman convincing employers, educators and parents that they are not damaged and need no repair.

     This generation deserves to be embraced and encouraged where they have been largely marginalized and maligned. Thank you for allowing me to introduce you to them.
