W Stanton Smith (WSS)

The author of this dialogue, with nearly 40 years of business experience, as much work as talent / HR a "high impact" executive with successful organizations composed primarily of knowledge workers.

Dialogue

HSC: So you mean labor is called new and expectations, especially knowledge workers?Here's an expectation for them: "I expect to pull up their socks (if they have any) and get to work. If they do not like this attitude, let them all whine and quit - or whining and get back to work. " What is wrong with this approach?

WSS: I recognize that there is some "rush" associated with "take it or leave it" or "my way or the highway" approach. It makes us feel heroic. But once the rush is over, there is the reality that you do not set yourself or your company for long-term success.

CSH: Sounds unlikely, but I prove it.

WSS: To do this, we need to connect some dots.These points represent the eight realities that have permanently affected the workforce, particularly the growing segment of knowledge workers in the workforce.

1. The unity of the non-traditional family is the rule not the exception

Involvement

Most workers do not have a partner to stay home to take care of personal matters while they are at work. Workers must divide their energy and focus between work and home.Consequently, there is a need for flexibility in navigation work-life balance that was not there when many leaders of today have grown up. This fact is closely related to the next.

2. Flexibility and customization career is now a need for workers of all generations

Involvement

Research shows that nearly all workers, regardless of generation, want some control over their working lives tangible. What is revolutionary: a consumer mentality to expect customization to be found through the generations.

3.Employees (particularly those in their 20s) have redefined the ambition and leadership

Involvement

Young people today are generally favorable to family and personal time on the rewards that usually accompany the increased responsibility at work. These young people work hard, but are generally not willing to work even harder. They are wary of the perceived high cost trade-offs they would make by advancing into jobs with more responsibility. People aged 50 and older who return to the workforce are starting to show the same attitudes that these young people.
