Prepare for Talent Curveballs With Cross-Training

You Don't Need to Understand Millennials: You Need to Understand People

Cornerstone On Demand

There's no shortage of musings on (or critiques of) millennials. They want to make an impact on the world, but they're also self-obsessed. They want opportunities to learn and grow at a company, yet they're quick to job hop every few years. They seek mentorship and community at work, but crave autonomy at the same time.

To this day, he doesn't care much about "A's" and I still can't kick a field goal.
