The millennial generation is beginning to enter the workplace, and there are ways you can use your soulful leadership to nurture and encourage this creative generation to bring their best to work every day. Compassionate leadership works beautifully to help this young generation of employees blossom, giving your business an invaluable asset in everything this inspired, hungry, and tech savvy group has to offer.
The millennial generation, while some may give them a bad rep, has a ton to offer businesses today. Spiritual entrepreneurship comes naturally, women in business are driven and yearning to make a big impact in their respective industries, and they’ve been encouraged to think freely and think outside of the box in all their ideas. All of these aspects can bring big things to your business, and the openness and honesty that compassionate leadership is all about really helps to bring these talents out in them.
Allowing for creativity and a judgement-free space for this young generation to create is one of the best things compassionate leaders can do to nurture this creative talent. Rather than closely overseeing or controlling brainstorming sessions, or setting strict guidelines for creative projects, allowing a little leniency and freedom can go a long way. The creative mind doesn’t tend to do well with monotony, and this freedom can serve as a great point of inspiration for innovation. Setting aside meditation sessions and team-building projects can also help to bring this creativity to the surface.
Looking at the differences of this high-tech younger generation as an asset, rather than a challenge, is also a great way to get the most from your employees. Adapting to suit these progressive new technologies, and allowing for open communication about these changes can help you to keep your business on top and on the pulse of the changes society is currently going through. If you want to keep relevant in today’s fast moving world, there is no better way to do so than to embrace the differences the younger generation brings along with them.
At Technalink, we know that compassionate leadership means finding the value in every employee, and using that value to your business advantage through encouragement and nurturing. With compassionate leadership, the millennial generation can bring businesses to new modern heights of innovation never seen before.
