Let’s vote on it
So much has been written about the demanding and expectant nature of Gen Xers and Millenials. I could say alot about this (and do when I speak) but consider this example.
The Notre Dame football team met on Monday to take a vote as to whether they want to play in a bowl game. Since when it is the decision of the players on what games to play? Where is the leadership? Oh yeah, he got fired.
But seriously, a vote? And we wonder why kids are so demanding. Do you think they take votes in the NFL? I think not and I know they don’t take votes where I consult. This culture clash is one you must reconcile and lead in your own firms. I know you know it but you need to deal with it proactively and positively. It is not going away as much as you wish it would.
Go Irish! Go where? I don’t know, let’s take a vote.
"I have received so many very positive comments about your workshop. Most importantly, the evaluations and the one-on-one feedback indicate that the participants picked up information and tips that they plan to apply both in their business and in their chapters."
