By 2025, the millennial generation will make up about 75 percent of the workforce. And, if you haven’t noticed, this segment of the population does things a little differently than their predecessors. Adam McCampbell is a millennial leadership consultant who has worked with companies nationwide to help identify and develop top talent. He is passionate about creating organizations where everyone can thrive and, in this episode, he shares what every organization needs to know about today’s changing workforce.
As the workforce balance shifts and millennials replace baby boomers, leadership styles need to change too (at least if your organization wants to remain effective or even thrive through this transition). Adam helps organizations moves towards a servant leadership style, or a people-first leadership style, that doesn’t just focus on themselves, the consumer, the bottom line, or the shareholder – instead, leadership has to start considering all the stakeholders: employees, customers, vendors, and the community.
If you want to create an organization where everyone can thrive, you will be interested in these other topics discussed in this episode:
- A servant leadership curriculum based around CARE: Connect, Align, Release, and Encourage.
- The different values and expectations that the younger generation has.
- The line between personal and professional is blurring.
