The Hourglass Blog came to an end for a variety of reasons, but one was clearly how, even in 2012, the focus of all generational conversations in the workplace was increasingly on the Millennials. How to deal with those crazy (and lazy) Millennials in the workplace was fair game (to my way of thinking, at least), since they were infiltrating the workforce in greater and greater numbers.

Well, they are the things that Millennials look for in the workplace. Indeed, as the provocative book title suggests, they are not just the things Millennials look for, they are the way Millennials will shape and run things when they are in charge. It is the way Millennials are used to being treated online, and the example they will follow when moving into the business world.

Of course they should. I think having volunteer SME's assisting on projects, and being part of volunteer project teams is is essential, but I personally think it is time for us to completely re-evaluate the governance model that has standing committees and look to more the corporate open management models of team/project leaders. Task forces and volunteer project teams are often a better way to go, especially when framed in the model I just described above.

Much like we hear today in regards to Millennials, in the early/mid-90s, associations were freaking out about Gen-X not joining.
