STUFF EVERYONE SHOULD LEARN FROM MILLENNIALS

Millennials get a bad rap. The children of Baby Boomers, the generation born between the mid ’80s and early ’90s is accused by its critics of being collectively entitled, narcissistic & lazy.

But all things considered it would serve us well to pay attention to this large and powerful demographic. Millennial philosophies that we could learn from them.

THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD LEARN FROM MILLENNIALS

#EMBRACE CHANGE

Having come of age during the greatest recession in modern history, the millennial worker has learned to embrace change, always seeking out a better, more advantageous opportunity. Which could serve them better in the near future?

#Challenge The Status Quo

The willingness to challenge the establishment no doubt contributes to the “entitled” perception of Generation Y, but in fact, it’s the way all revolutionary businesses began. The desire and the grit to disrupt the status quo are essentials for anyone who truly want to make an impact.

#Value Work-Life Balance

Flexibility and work-life balance are two major factors in career choice for millennials. If they can’t find them at one job, they’ll soon look for another (or create their own). We could learn from millennials’ attention to work-life balance, which relieves stress, promotes productivity and keeps us healthy.

#Opt For Experiences

More than three-quarters of millennials would rather spend money on a desirable experience than buy a physical product. They value memories: creating them, experiencing them and documenting them.

#Take Advantage Of Technology

If there’s one stereotype that’s almost unequivocally true, it’s that millennials are the connected generation. With a smartphone in one hand and a VR headset in the other, they know the power of technology and how to use it to make life easier and better.
