Are you frustrated by resistance to new ideas in your organisation? Don't give up or leave. Use the experience to collect insights. Today's workplace is riven with uncertainty about what the rules of engagement should be.
Some of Boomers' frustrations come from a nostalgia for a workplace where command and control management, hierarchy, and bureaucracy offered stability. As leaders, Boomers enjoyed great prestige from a compliant workforce.
Fast forward to today, an accelerating pace of change, tech savvy Millennials and a jumble of past and new practices threaten their status quo.
To thrive, organisations must evolve and become adaptive, so that performance is not disrupted by change. However, most organisation lack the know-how to achieve it. It is fear that fuels Boomers' criticism of Millennials and explains their unwillingness share leadership in creating a new model.
These kinds of negative experiences helped me understand what constraining assumptions prevent change. I want you to do the same and discover what skills you must develop as a Millennial leader.
