This is another one of those posts challenging the assumption that as Millennials storm their way into the workforce theyre going to radically change the landscape and force organizations to adapt to their idiosyncratic ideals in order to harness their power and survive. Millennials arent any different. Millennial: Yes we are!

I blogged a bit about their 2006 study , so thought I would give the 2011 update a read as well. Its a survey of more than 3,000 executive directors of non-profit organizations and, although it seems weighted towards charitable and social service organizations, there are a few interesting parallels and tidbits for associations.
