3 major problems facing millennials generation compared to baby boomer generation and generation X.1. Generation millennials do not communicate. This generation lives under the shadow of technology, iphone, email, or phone. Survey says 66% of leaders from generation X and baby boomers primarily communicate directly (in person) while millennials generation more primarily communication via text, sms and other communication tools.


    Millennials want to be heard and do not want their ideas to be ignored. This generation is a collaborative employees, they ignore the hierarchy within the organization. They chose egalitarian and teamwork. Essentially they do not like orders by the bureaucratic system. This clash with the previous generation who saw hirakhi is a thing that must be run strictly. So many generations of millennials are opening up their own business as a form of resistance to the system.
    Millennials generation need a reason. They do not accept all policies and decisions for no good reason. This generation is rebellious with old things that have no basis. The google engine that at all times gives them answers so as to form a different mindset with the previous generation. These three main traits require new leadership and management styles to optimize the role of millennials generation.
