Abstract

This study examines twelve factors which are important for the large number of potential managers in the Millennial Generation sector. The new role as manager may be overwhelming for a younger manager. With proper training and other factors, the Millennial Manager may be as an asset to the organization. Important advice for the Millennial generation includes developing self-awareness and understanding differences among team members. Other recommendations are having a mentor and being transparent, fair, a good listener, and a cheerleader. The manager should set high standards, acknowledge mistakes, and focus on goal achievement.
