 Insights from the GenerBoomExLenial Generation We are more alike than people realize, you and I. Never before has there emerged such a perceived generational gap in the workplace. Despite the many contrasts and statistical comparisons, our generations value very similar principles. The difference has largely been a matter of perspective. Traditional concepts of how work needs to be done are creating turbulence as a distinctive new work environment emerges. Now we are recognizing that what used to be is no longer how it needs to be. Businesses are embracing the valuable leadership of today’s priceless professional—the young professional. We must welcome this professional as more than a boomer replacement – but as a confident visionary and change agent that will bridge the gap between a community, a business and the emerging labor force challenge. I, the young professional, will bring new balance to life and work by answering dynamic questions. Talent? I have it. Professional? I am. Career? I control it. Life? I live it. Work? I earn it. Respect? I demand it. Quite frankly, these principles are no different than our founding generations. Young professionals are shaping a passionate work ethic, a resilient business community and a strong American economy with the same entrepreneurial spirit exemplified before us. I am more than a replacement or a startling statistic. I am your best weapon to win the talent war for highly skilled and qualified professionals. And, as you were for me, I am the future for the next generation. 01. download the 2007 Year-End Report PDF | 02. next page: talent challenge
