Episode Highlights
1:28 When Millennials first entered the workforce, there was this connotation with their work culture, work ethic, and how willing they were to dive in, get their hands dirty, take the time to understand things, and work through things.
4:30 They are totally in the middle. You've got the superiors thinking one thing, they've got their subordinates going in a whole different direction so the stress that they feel is insurmountable and it is a lot easier for them to align, if you will, with those that have similar thoughts as they do.
6:45 As we're trying to build that trust, both up and down, there's a level of transparency that those managers need to be displaying but unfortunately, people can't handle full transparency.
18:06 Creativity is immensely important to solving whatever comes up.
19:47 The question becomes, how much do you spend on that versus doing the thing that's making you the cash to create the output and go forward?
21:44 When we talk cultural fit, we're not talking purpose of the company, as this article really is talking about more, you know, what gives them purpose. We're talking about how well you fit in with other companies that you are interviewing at.
