Understanding and Leading Millennials and Gen Z in the Military
This seminar provides an overview of the core characteristics, needs and desires of the Millennial generation (b. 1980-1995), and a look ahead at Generation Z (b. 1995-2000). It delves into the societal, educational, and technological trends that have significantly influenced these cohorts. Differences in learning styles, work ethic, communication expectations, and measurements of success often result in frustration and misunderstanding on inter-generational teams. We will look at key strategies for effectively engaging those we are training and working with across generations. Millennials, who have now surpassed Baby Boomers as the majority of the workforce in America, also bring new perspectives on leadership. We will conclude with a look at inter-generational leadership, with unique implications for the military context. Teaching and Training Millennials and Gen Z Short attention spans, addiction to technology, and lack of interpersonal skills are a few of the descriptors used to describe students and young adults today. Millennials and Generation Z are also incredibly creative, collaborative and diverse. This presentation delves into the powerful societal and technological influences contributing to the development of these generations. As the influences of culture shift our world from rational to experiential problem solving, technology moves us from linear to complex thinking, and collaboration replaces individual responsibility, we are experiencing dramatic differences in how young people engage the world. This session explores the opportunities and challenges represented by a new type of student. Blended and collaborative learning, redesigned learning spaces, and emerging technologies are just a few of the factors influencing how instruction occurs today. As we train younger troops, it is often necessary to adopt new methods and perspectives in our teaching. This session will look at current trends and present strategies for engaging and training Millennials and Generation Z. |
Maximizing Inter-generational Teams
With great potential for creativity and growth, inter-generational teams also produce frustration and misunderstanding as differing worldviews, work habits, and expectations collide. Millennials (b. 1980-1995) now represent a large majority in the military and bring with them unique skills, perspectives and needs. Failure to engage these generational differences can be devastating for morale, retention and effectiveness. This workshop provides valuable insights into generational differences, and strategic tools to help you maximize inter-generational teams and staffs. 
I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback. We really enjoyed having you here and you gave us a lot to think and talk about. And thank you also for being so gracious and understanding. You’re the lowest maintenance speaker I’ve ever met. --Andrew K., Non-Profit Leader |
