Abstract

As millennials increasingly become a part of the workforce, it is necessary to understand what this implies for the future of work. Millennials signify a shift in traditional employment models premised on commitment. Instead, they bring in an ethical passion to connect business with social issues and transform the world. In the process, millennials will have to negotiate with a range of powerful stakeholders to leave a distinct mark on business and society. It is useful for millennials to spend time in understanding their audience and articulating their thoughts in ways that can persuade their audience.
