SCOTTSDALE, AZ—Jeff Gage of CBRE doesn't mince words when it comes to the acceptance of Millennials in the workforce. Currently he says 20% of the workforce is Millennials, and it can only grow from there. So the question for resisting senior pros becomes: Do you bend to reality or do you snap?
Gage's frank answer, delivered at the recent SIOR Spring World Conference here, was: “Get over it.” (Click here for Part One.)
Gage will explore:
- If Millennials and gray-hairs can play nicely together;
- Facing the realities of a different work ethic;
- Toolmakers of ages ago and Millennials today;
- How to relate to a generation that doesn't crave the traditional touchstones of success; and
- Reverse mentoring and the importance of absorbing a new way of thinking.
