Carry your weight, be a millennial​

Who are these millennials? Customers, employees, and leaders. Being a millennial is a state of mind, an approach to living and competing. Jeff Bezos of Amazon is a millennial. Larry Page of Alphabet is one. Elon Musk is a millennial. Jack Ma, of Alibaba, is a millennial. And of course, the first generation to come in the new millennium are millennials. The millennial generation (the largest generational group in the history of United States) is comprised of those born between 1980 and 2000. There are over 84 million of them including 39% of the US workforce (50% by 2020).

ORGANIZATIONS, LIKE HUMANS, MUST RENEW THEMSELVES

Image
There are over 75 trillion cells in the human body and millions (between one to three million) die and are replaced every second. Some are lost through wear and tear, and others deliberately self-destruct. The body is always in a state of restructuring and flux, renewing and reorganizing. Through “Program Cell Death” or apoptosis, and based on programmed sequences in their genetic codes, cells kill themselves. When too little apoptosis occurs it can trigger cancer. Too much of it could cause other chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. A complex healthy living entity balances death and renewal—so should a living healthy organization. Every minute of everyday organizations, like humans, must renew themselves down to each and every cell; they must insert this need to self-define and redefine into their genetic code. “In the animal kingdom, the rule is or be eaten, in the human kingdom, define or be redefined.” —Thomas Szasz, Professor of Psychiatry A page from the C...

My aim ...

First blog entry … the hardest to write As I first brainstormed the realities of today’s constantly changing and competitive world with clients, friends and students, it became clear to me that our old ways of planning and strategizing are not appropriate for the new world of big data, analytics, artificial intelligence, constant innovation and the millennial generation. And that was the origin of my book, The Caterpillar’s Edge . I started writing this book a couple of years ago. But the first versions soon became obsolete.  The book evolved many times. Along the way, now my good friend, Webster Stone, joined the journey as my “no nonesense” editor. I would write and Web would reject … I would re-write and Web would raise the bar – tough love, true and true. Make it crisper, get to the point, no consulting lingo he would emphasize. As I conceived every idea and wrote every word and sentence, Web (at times with great frustration!) helped me sharpen my thoughts and re-evaluate...
