Thom S. Rainer has a great article here on what millenials want in a leader. Through his article you can learn who our Millenials are and more details about what they are looking for in a leader.
I have a huge heart for Millennials, as Steve and I are raising 3 later born Millennial boys. I love to study articles like Rainers, because it's important to learn about what their generation is seeking.
For me, learning turns into leading. Millenials are looking for gentle spirited mentors, as well as authentic and down-to-earth pastors, politicians and the like. My favorite quality in Millennials is their zero tolerance policy on lying and inauthentic people. If you consistently lack integrity and are manipulative and deceitful, they will leave you. Forever.
Honesty wins every time. It's a good policy to implement for every generation.
In what ways are you leading the Millennial generation?
Audra...I never heard the term "Millennials" before I read this post.
The most interesting point is their zero tolerence policy on lying and inauthentic people. I love the fact that they are looking for gentle spirited mentors with integrity. Thanks for the education and enjoy your Sunday! :)
