"Simon Sinek speaking about Millennials in the workplace of today, and social media addiction. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST SPEECHES THAT I’VE EVER HEARD."

This youtube video is about 18 minutes long and is full of insightful observations regarding the challenges business has when managing the Millennial generation.

Much of what he talks about many HR people and business managers have experienced and are trying to come to not only terms with this generation, but having to teach them a lot about how the world really works.

I encourage anyone who cares to watch it...watch until the very end. Corporate America isn't set up to babysit this generation and yet, we're the one that is being tapped to fill in those psychological/relationship pieces. That really is a huge societal expectation and in a way explains these kids crying about 'fascism' how they are expected to go to work and why they are so confused by a Great America.

When I need to fill 4+ junior spots I have the recruiting folks give me every resume. I ween those down to 12 and bring them all in on the same day. 6 in the morning and 6 in the afternoon.

I mainly work supply chain/supplier stuff so I bring in members from sourcing, materials, quality, design, and manufacturing - with a free lunch for the day and I round robin them at 1/2 an hour a shot. 6 slots (including me) at 1/2 an hour gets us 3 hours in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. Then everyone convenes at the end of the day - sometimes if I really had to coerce people to help it’s at a local watering hole.

I ask who do you absolutely agree we should not hire? those go on the floor (usually 2-3). Who will you kill me for if I don’t hire (those are keepers and usually 1-2). Then we rack and stack the rest with everyone getting their vote on how they would rank. It usually comes down to 3 groups. 2-3 yes’s, 2-3 in the middle, and 2-3 who would be ok, but only if no one else is willing to take the job. the 2-3 in the middle is usually where I have to make a final call, but at that age and experience it’s really about my feeling about what extra they can bring to the game.
