Are you in a position where
your company needs fresh
leadership? Are you looking
to add value in order to sell
your company or to shift your
company in a new direction?
Find out three considerations
in transitioning the C level
leadershipwithin your company,
especially if you are a baby
boomer hiring leaders who are
millennials.
The following three tips will help
you hire a millennial leader for
your company.
Number one,
give them a
challenge
, in a job in which
they can grow that offers
work-life balance. The younger
generation, those individuals
born after 65 or born in the
70s, understand work a little bit
differently. They want an impact
role but don’t expect them to
have the kind of loyalty that
you have had over the years
with your company. That’s just
the nature of the beast today.
Millennials enjoy high energy
work. However, they also enjoy
lower stress environments
where fun is part of the work
place. So understanding work-
life differences is important in
hiring an effective C level leader
from the millennial generation.
Number two
define how you
expect the company to be
different in five years
and how
new leadership can help you get
there. Are there some different
strategies related to market
changes that you’re seeing? Are
there different approaches to
customers? Are there different
sales approaches, perhaps
transitioning to more of a
hunter relationship for your
sales team than you have had
in the past? Partnering with
competitors is done regularly
today, but is that something
that you’re comfortable doing
moving forward? These are all
considerations as far as defining
what you expect your company
to look like in the future.
Thirdly
how do you want to
grow value in the next few
