“They don’t care how much you know, until they know

how much you care”


They may

well be the

making of

us

Raising The Bar For Managers


“The best managers are

rarely if ever the most

lenient. Management is

about being respected not

being their friend.”


So what motivates

Gen Y?


Everyone should be excited and motivated

the first day at work in a new job


Focus on

deliverables not

methods

Practical Ideas Are Everywhere


Change the way you

communicate:

explain why



Just because you

did it doesn’t mean

they have to



Teach them

differently



If you love

someone,

set them

free



Motivating Generation Y


We all have a choice about how we think and behave

With their talent and our leadership and management,

the future is bright


Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world

Unreasonable people adapt the world to themselves

Thus all change is initiated by unreasonable people
