- W2735162171 abstract "Members of this generation are often stereotyped as disloyal, unprofessional, and tech-sawy--but the truth is far more complex, says Jason Dorsey. Jason Dorsey is a sought-after Millennial whisperer. As the co-founder of the Center for Generational Kinetics in Austin, Texas, he works with organizations around the world to figure out how people from different generations can play, live, and work together. He is a blend of a researcher and a cultural anthropologist whose clients include Frito-Lay, GE, Mercedes-Benz, and Visa. The Center for Generational Kinetics defines Millennials as the generation born between 1977 and 1995 (there's no hard-and-fast rule for when generations begin or end, and some researchers have the generation starting a little bit later). Dorsey, a 38-year-old Millennial, according to his definition of the generation, talked with the JofA about Millennials and the accounting profession. An edited transcript of that discussion follows: Millennials have been a hot topic for a while now. Do we still need to be talking and writing about them? Dorsey: There is definitely fatigue. People are just going: Haven't we heard enough about the Millennials? Aren't they just going to grow out of it? The reality is, Millennials aren't growing out of it. They're just growing up and having more influence. You've got what is the largest generation in the U.S. workforce. We're going to outspend every other generation in the U.S. this year, and we have the greatest lifetime value of any client you can win. If you really look at us in context, there's a good reason people are talking about Millennials. The problem is, we're just having the wrong conversation. What is the right conversation? Dorsey: What are the things that we can hope to gain from Millennials when they join our workforce to unlock their talent? What are the things we can do to best bridge the generations without having to cater to or coddle them as employees so that everyone wins? What should employers know about Millennials? Dorsey: If Gen X and Boomers think back to when they entered the workforce, [they'll remember that] they also brought change with them. Millennials are proving to be more resilient and not giving up their characteristics to fit in and make it work. They're actually saying, No, I'm going to do it in this different Now, there are plenty of similarities: They still want to feel valued like everybody, they want to feel included, and they want to feel challenged. They want to be a part of the company. They want to take on more responsibility. These are all great things to have, but Millennials may communicate them differently. And they may be motivated differently. They may think about work/life balance differently, and even the prospect of loyalty or paying your dues may look different to them. The employers who recognize this and adapt are having a massive advantage. What are some misconceptions that you think the accounting profession has about Millennials? Dorsey: The first is that Millennials are going to know how to work in a professional environment. You may have people with no work experience showing up, and they don't know some of the basic things. That doesn't mean they won't be great accountants. They may be phenomenal accountants. But they may not know how to participate in a meeting with a client or how to present ideas to executives. Or even things as simple as the right way to dress in a client meeting versus an internal A lot of that is just learned through experience. The myth is, Oh, Millennials don't know how to work. Look, they're dressed inappropriately, or they said the wrong thing during the meeting. The reality is, they've never learned to do it the right way. They were not taught in school, is how you dress for a Here is how you shake hands. Here is how you carry yourself in a professional setting. …" @default.
