How can millennials become future leaders?

By Anonymous -
Millennia’s are tech savvy trendsetters; they are hasty and erratic with shifting loyalties. However they are a multi-tasking, result oriented generation who are socially connected, they feed on information as well as innovatively employ ways to create it and this generation is the new and future employees of various companies. The topic I choose focusing on millennial how they can become future leaders and for this we have mobile phone users in Pakistan.

Their nature of work and trends need to be realized to retain this erratic and impulsive bunch of workers, this is what they seek in organization. They need to be motivated by potential for career development and growth within once choice of profession. In fact they not only effectively seek opportunities within an organization to grow as an employee, but also seek similar opportunities outside the firm amongst competitors. Secondly this generation gets a high on self-empowerment, they like to see in control and prefer working according to their own set work standards since they are tech savvy and work non-traditionally. Hence it is preferable to engage them by becoming a “result oriented “firm rather than a work ethics one. Millennia’s are multi takers its preferable to hand them individual projects with flexible work timings, flexible work methods so they develop their work skills.

IOBM’s experiential learning agenda set for 2015 MBA program is definitely progressing by leaps and bounds. Adding further to the cause, another invaluable guest speaking session was held which was conducted by Prof. Dr. Irfan Hyder , Dean CBM and CES at IOBM, for the class “Transformational and Ethical Leadership”, facilitated by Mr. Shiraz Ahmed. The topic of the lecture was “Ethical Leadership”. While students were being called for attendance, Dr. Irfan Hyder was planning on what and how to speak on “Ethical Leadership”. It took him only seven minutes. The lecture, hence started, as a small talk. “Ek ha Ghalib, Aur ek ha Iqbal” and the lecture started with these words. For me these words were the initials (topic) of the lecture. As a keen listener and observer, I knew it instantly that this lecture is going to be insightful and fun. It seems that academic leaders like Prof. Dr. Irfan Hyder himself just can’t get enough of Iqbal and Ghalib. I have rarely attended any ...
