It is a matter of ensuring that we are aligned with our “why”, our purpose for doing whatever we do. Nothing will be perfect but do we feel excitement and fulfilled to do what we do or are we just going through the motions for financial reasons. There are times when you may approach a stage in your career where you’re unsure about the next steps. Should I stay or should I look for another job? Along the way everyone teaches us something and that creates other opportunities. Sometimes we simply need to fine tune what we are doing. Other times we need to change course or reinvent ourselves so we can do what we desire. You may have been in the same field for many years and you are unfulfilled or in search of something new. In my lifetime there have been numerous times I have reinvented myself. Moving from trauma nurse to healthcare administrator, administrator to insurance executive, and now to coach. It can be done if we want it and choose to seize the opportunity.

If we expect to extend their tenure closer to 10 years (what we see with employees age 55-64) then a closer look at the following organizational and leadership qualities, styles, and skills that millenials have taught use are needed.

leadership skills

1. Building a great team of colleagues that surrounds everyone with a high degree of talent that enables each member to teach each other so everyone can progress and strive to be better.
2. Create an organizational purpose that resonates and aligns with an individual’s personal sense of meaning. Purpose attracts and retains top talent. It also matters more than money.
3. Extending flexibility in working hours and workplace where possible while maintaining accountability for results. Katie Burke of Hub Spot said it best, “Change the paradigm to reward and promote based on results and ingenuity, not time on the job.”
4. Leaders who embrace and support the individual development of their team by challenging individuals with stretch assignments to foster their individual growth. Individual contributions are valued and rewarded with praise, a new assignment, increase pay or some combination.
5. Leaders who help their individual team members to identify their personal brand identity and what they stand for.
6. Connection means having access to multiple levels of management or individuals (co-workers, leaders, mentors, coaches) without a formal reporting structure. It relies more on collaboration and networking. It also means having earlier access to an executive coach as a part of a leadership development program or as an apprentice.
7. Encouraging appropriate risk taking, use and development of intuition, and out of the box solutions without fear of punishment as a way to grow and create.
8. Utilize the entrepreneurial strength of millenials to create and innovate products or services that appeal to millenials.
