1. Instead of trying to manage this generation, consider their fresh approach to life.

AS A card-carrying member of generation Y, I have listened with growing alarm to political, social, economic, religious and business commentators discussing my generation's flaws.

Whole industries have now sprung up, attempting to guide older members of society through our challenging ways. Managing Generation Y, Employing Generation Why, Generation Y: Thriving and Surviving with Generation Y at Work are just some of the volumes of management texts educating employers on mechanisms to cope with us.

Apparently, we have never really had to “want” for anything. Many of these gurus believe that one of generation Y’s biggest downfalls is that we “work to live” rather than “live to work”, as our perennially depressed older generation X counterparts do.
