Millennials represent a significant portion of the workforce right now. If you are in a managerial position, you will inevitably find yourself in charge of a Millennial. Here are some tips for refining your approach.
Individualize your approach with each millennial
Some managers tend to take a “same equals fair” approach with their management style, which can backfire with Millennials who have been raised in a world that celebrated the individual.

As with any generation, Millennials are saddled with certain misconceptions. Some of these include expectations regarding Millennial personalities and work ethic. Here’s a few you can ignore.

Millennials can bring many positive traits to the floor. It is your job as a manager to recognize what these are and how to apply them in the workplace. Take a look at these positive traits.
Taking advantage of the tech-innate
If you say to non-Millennials that Millennials are tech-innate, you’re likely to get one of two responses: “Duh, everyone knows that!

Your job of managing Millennials could be easier if you keep your eyes on the trends. As you explore the world of the future unknown, certain factors will remain unpredictable but entertaining to think about. Back in the day (choose your time period), technology was rapidly changing, the economy was at a high or a low, and some cutting-edge trends emerged; vague statements these may be, but the way society finishes the story behind these statements defines a generation.

Millennials can make effective managers. Imagine that you are a 55-year-old employee named Michael. You have been working at your organization for 25 years. You are loyal, ambitious, and content with your career. You’ve got a few plaques for achieving great things and proudly wear a company T-shirt when you go out.

With a fresh new wave of leadership comes a brand new set of leadership skills. Millennials, like any generation, have many natural talents, some innate and some as a result of the conditions they grew up in. Unsurprisingly, they’ll be bringing their generational traits with them as captains of leadership. To get a grasp on where to focus your efforts as you groom the next batch of leaders, it’s helpful to understand the areas where they’ll knock it out of the park, where they’ll do just okay, and where they may fall short without your training and assistance.

Millennials dads are a large part of today’s workplace. In recent years, very pro-woman and pro-man movements have coincided with gender-equality initiatives and the movement to redefine what it means to “be a man.”On one hand, this has put Millennial men in a place of confusion — when the labor economy changed to a service economy, the physical strength and resulting demeanor that had played a heavy hand in other men’s successes no longer mattered.

Millennial moms are a big part of the workforce. How wonderful is it that the world now is less June Cleaver and more Lorelai Gilmore? Working mothers have had to chart an unknown and obstacle-ridden path for decades, and now Millennials are clearing their own way.
What she looks like
To get an understanding of how this working mom is different from generations past, consider the following:

In the case of blue collar versus white collar, you have two potentially disparate types of work. White-collar workers are depicted as spending “normal” 9–5 work hours in an office or cubicle, whereas blue-collar workers may hold a graveyard shift and are typically on location, either in their specified field or an industrial location.

Millennials can’t be corralled into a single group without distinctions. At the risk of giving a history lesson about the American dream, you might want to think about how you’ve seen it change over time. How are your grandparents’ stories different from your own? How have motivations changed over time?While achieving the American dream used to look like getting married, owning a beautiful home with a white picket fence, and having lots of children’s mouths to feed, now it can look like some version of that or the equally accepted tiny home or apartment dwelling, with no additional mouths to feed.
