Gone is the day where you work at a job for thirty years and retire. Millennials jump around and switch careers. I think it's important for CEOs to highlight career mobility within a company, so that employees don't get bored and continue to be stimulated.
Recruiters sometimes have their wires crossed when it comes to what Millennials really want at work. While fancy perks are great, many Millennials are more excited about growing and thriving at a company that appreciates their talent and will help them continue to learn.
The world is full of CEOs that think that just because they write a memo or they write a letter inside an annual report or they give a little video speech that gets sent around the company, they think that's what's really going to affect employees.
At the end of the day, both men and women who become CEOs have showed tenacity and hard work to succeed in their careers. It takes not just skills but also extreme dedication and commitment. And regardless of gender, CEOs are measured by the same criteria - the growth and success of the business.
I think I would just get bored to be honest. Ask any human being if they want to stay in exactly the same job for thirty years they say "No!" The ultimate cliché, 'Variety is the spice of life', is sadly true.
If you are smart, you never retire. You may retire from that job you have had for many years, but you will pick up another career for yourself of some type.
An important part of my job is listening to diverse points of view at all levels - from Millennials starting their careers... to women at the highest levels of leadership... to my own wife and daughter.
At 14, you think you compete, you retire and you get a job. I didn't think gymnastics was a career that was going to change my life.
For millennials especially, mobility has become a key factor in selecting a potential career path and in choosing an appropriate employer.
I love to jump around, bounce around, and be active, which is one of the other reasons I decided to pursue a career in the kitchen. I work 12-18 hours a day, and most of it is spent doing just that - jumping, bouncing, and baking.
I think it's really important to remember that it's a long life, and it's a long career. In a perfect world, your career will be long. It does not begin and end with any one job. The point is to continue to have longevity in your career.
Working from nine till five every day at something that gives you no pleasure just so that, after thirty years, you can retire.
For millennials, conducting business with a purpose that goes beyond making profits is critically important in determining the kind of company they want to work for - and the kind of company with whom they are willing to do business.
All those articles that scold Millennials for their supposed entitlement? Forget them. Millennials are great employees.
I'd like the people teaching my kids to be good enough that they could get a job at the company I work for, making a hundred thousand dollars a year. Why should they work at a school for thirty-five to forty thousand dollars if they could get a job here at a hundred thousand dollars a year?
I've got to continue to work hard because every day somebody's coming for my job. I've got to continue to get better and better each day. I have to act like every day is my last.
I think a lot of people try to plan things in their career. They feel like, If I don't get this done by the time I'm thirty, everything's over. But I've worked with a lot of people whose careers shot to the top later in life.
