Write You - Generations X and Y Poised to Take over Business World
When choosing a career for yourself, you think about two things: One, you think about what you like to do. Do you enjoy being around people all day? Maybe it’s that you love arts and crafts. Second, you think about what skills you’ve acquired, be it from school or from life. Are you good at analyzing situations? Maybe your specialty is creating peace between two competing forces. Can you correct a sentence like no other? Are you good at teaching a skill? Kids? Street smarts? Or is it that you’re

Walking by the campus sidewalk, I made my way to the lecture theater for my class. Around me were hundreds of other students walking in various directions. From different faculties and field of study, the whole picture gives one a sense of diversity. I was like a fly within a swarm of many others. However, people overlook the fact that out of this community of students, many are true practicing entrepreneurs.Of course, it is never obvious just by judging from appearance or background.
A recent survey by Office Team of California shows that 51% of Baby Boomers and Builders are very comfortable working for younger supervisors. In fact the survey shows that only 11% would be uncomfortable reporting to someone younger than themselves.
This is very understandable and the Builder generation where the main interest is to use their experience to supplement their retirement income. The general feeling is they have paid their dues therefore they don't need leadership positions.
In the Baby Boomer generation the idea of retirement is not being welcomed as much as the concept of continuing in the workplace without the stress of high-level management positions.
The survey results show that both older generations have gotten over the stigma of reporting to a younger and less experienced leader. This is good news for upper management who can now confidently groom younger generations for leadership roles.
The Grooming Process
Multicultural Business Council (MBC), a cultural empowerment organization near Detroit, Michigan, has identified three steps essential to the process of grooming Generation X and Y for middle and upper management. These steps are:
1. Educate future managers about generational differences. The common traits, strengths, weaknesses, and motivators of each generation can be easily identified by understanding the events and experiences the generations have held as a whole. This becomes a powerful knowledge for the Baby Boomer and Builder generations in understanding how to draw talent out of younger workers and how to relate to these younger workers as they become bosses. At the same time, Generations X and Y does not relate to the experiences that have formed and shaped the Baby Boomer and Builder generations. MBC developed a concise workshop called, “Managing Builders, Boomers, Xs, and Ys without Losing Your Zs.” The workshop is divided in such a way that all four generations gain a clearer understanding of the workplace difficulties and misunderstandings between the generations. Once individuals understand each generation they know how to create a harmonious and productive working environment. MBC's workshop is available in an online format throughout the world, hosted by Macomb Community College.
2. Assess future leaders to polish their leadership ability. With current projections by the governments of most countries, members of Generations Xs and Y will be required to assume leadership positions in a much younger age than their predecessors. Most estimates indicate three to 10 years are available for this assessment and development process. Best practices, as identified by MBC, start with doing an assessment for cognitive skills, motivational energy, occupational interests, and personality traits. The assessments can be used to develop a growth plan for the individual to enhance leadership skills before it is necessary for the individual to actually take a leadership position.
3. Have a current secession plan for all key positions. In preparation, organizations need to develop secession plans to replace retiring Baby Boomers.

What can you do to track down your progress on profit or expenses? When progress in numbers is checked, solid evidence is always needed because it’s the only basis of how much a restaurant is earning or losing each day. Is it doing well by average or is it doing better compared to how much you have expected it to earn from day 1? You need to always check on this on a regular basis because it could make or break your business.You also need to know the volume trend of your restaurant and a re

Many good operational managers are paralyzed by the apparent complexity of strategic change. This paralysis, coupled with the everyday pressures of keeping the business running, means that organizations have skipped this crucial activity in favor of thrusting leadership and rigorous management. However, the problem with this approach is that organizations are pursuing incremental efficiency gains in preference to the more radical and profitable step change offered by effective strategic implemen
