Generation Y lack of life skills
troubles managers
Today’s managers fear a lack of life skills and frequent job changes
will prevent Generation Y employees from gaining key leadership
qualities such as the ability to judge risk and make effective decisions.
A new report by Ashridge Business School,
Culture Shock! Generation
Y and their managers around the world
, highlights a generation gap
between Gen Y graduates aged under 30 and their leaders.
The study, based on a global survey of 2,900 managers and graduates
in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, India, Malaysia and China, reports
that managers across the world consider Gen Y graduates to be
highly knowledgeable, digitally integrated, globally and socially aware,
unconventional and very confident. However admiration for these positive
qualities is tempered by dislike of Gen Y’s pursuit of fame and recognition,
self-focus, over-confidence and lack of teamwork and respect.
Managers feel strongly that today’s graduates lack ‘life skills’
compared with previous generations and recommend that they
get work experience and develop their emotional intelligence,
communication and people skills.
A major concern for managers is how to retain Generation Y
employees who want a varied career and think nothing of leaving a job
quickly if it doesn’t meet their ideals. In the UK, only 57% intend to
remain in their current role for two years.
The report identifies a mismatch of expectations between managers
and graduates. Those under 30 have high expectations of responsibility,
speedy promotion, challenging work and the ability to make changes,
whereas managers expect excellent skills, teamwork and adaptation to
the organisation.
The report provides new insights into recruiting, hiring, managing
and retaining Gen Y workers; and includes case studies showcasing how
innovative employers are developing young talent.
