The Cry of the Millennial

I hope as you venture into the mind of a millennial and the complexity of why they are crying, but no one is listening to the scream that you are intrigued like never before. I believe this book will enlighten you about the many questions that people have about millennials. I am a father of four millennials with an age spanning from twenty-six to thirty-seven years old. Shera and I raised two boys and two girls and sent them all to college for further education. Here are some things we learned as we raised these complex children into adulthood, seeing and hearing the many situations that they and their peers have gone through. Millennials in the workforce are different from any age group, and I will detail why. For a millennial, maturity is the ability to see and act on the behalf of others. Immaturity is not seeing things from someone else's point of view. It's natural for millennials to exude immaturity in the workplace because they lack the necessary context and experience. But unfortunately, it's all too common for leaders of millennials to also be immature. Leaders of millennials aren't immature in their experience, knowledge, or skills but rather in seeing the world from the perspective of millennials. The digital age has fundamentally rewired millennials. Millennials' unprecedented digital upbringing has made it difficult for experienced leaders to see the world from their point of view. This results in leaders becoming frustrated and defaulting to correcting instead of connecting. Millennials aren't trying to be difficult or frustrate you on purpose. They have had a very different upbringing. This is one that the world has never seen, which has created a new breed of worker, and thus, a new breed of leader is needed to effectively and influentially lead them. Finally, I pray by the grace of our Lord Jesus that this book will help you understand the mind of the millennial as we introduce to you The Cry of the Millennial.
