It doesn’t have to be expensive, just something that is a little bit outside their comfort zone. Millennials have always been treated as individuals so they have grown up believing that. In the workforce, they still want to be seen as an individual, instead of a cog in a wheel. They want to know on an individual basis that what they are doing is impacting the greater good and the company as a whole.
Two big areas that Amanda tends to see that have the greatest room for improvement are the recruitment process and leadership process or “point”.
The leadership point means developing those frontline leaders, the ones who interact directly with millennial employees.
In this episode, Amanda shares the book that has had the greatest impact on her. The book she loves is called Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment. It’s an easy read that came out in the early 90s.
Amanda’s daily rituals consist of waking up at 5 am every morning. She then does a short meditation and thinks about all the things she is grateful for in her life. Next, she works out and does an outdoor boot camp where she sweats it out every day.
