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.

"As a result of the session you delivered to my group, using “No Yelling” as the guide we have experienced an exceptional start to our 2009 construction season. Safety as usual is paramount, and our production rates have exceeded even my high expectations. There has been a positive shift in ownership from all that attended, which leads me to believe we could have the same success if we did the same kind of training with our front line labor force."
