What can millennials teach us about leadership development?

How much money would you spend on someone that might leave you at moment’s notice?

This is the conundrum facing employers when they look out over an office now heavily populated with millennial employees and start to wonder, is it a good idea to invest heavily in high-potentials from this generation?

Millennials have been labelled the job-hopping generation, more likely to switch gigs rather than fight for what they want. That is particularly true for high-potentials, who have a much higher market value and limitless career options. This generation of less loyal high-potentials has, to put it bluntly, put the leadership development strategies of many organisations into complete disarray.

Do millennials need an entirely different approach to career and leadership development? The answer is yes… and no.
