11 Nov 07 60 Minutes Show on Millennials – my future employees…
Well, just watching a great piece by Morley Safer on tonights episode of 60 Minutes – it’s all about Millennials – kids born between 1980-1995 and who are now coming on to the market.
Basically, they know that careerism is dead and there is more work than there are people and that … friends, family and lifestyle comes before work and career.
They also expect to be coddled… for their efforts.
So,… I’ve put 17+ years with one employer (massive employer) as well as multiple other concurrent projects, clients and ventures… and just going on.
Message to bosses everywhere: don’t forget the praise. Todays manager must be more coach than supervisor….
Interesting footnote: apparently, spelling is not the forté of Millennials. There are 718K Google results for the correct spelling of Millenials and…. 450K results for the error Millenials… spelling schmelling.
I’m luvin’ it.

You used the word “forte” (with an accent over the e.) For the word forte, pronouncing the e is incorrect or at least 2nd best in prefernce in a dictionary. It is pronounced fort. NO ONE uses it properly. The only time you pronounce the e is when you talk about a pianoforte.
