Simon Sinek on Millennials in the Workplace

Interesting

He's not describing millenials. He is describing Centennials. He talked pure shit. Nothing to do with us.

Simon tries to hide his condescending arrogance by using the phrase “not my words,just saying “. You just said it and you meant it. Take responsibility Sinek. Not all children grew up being told that they are special and can have whatever they want. Simon being in a more privileged position then these millennials he speaks down on who gets whatever he want snd sits up on stage like he is entitled and really special is not living what he preaches. There is nothing wrong with telling your children they are special and can get as much as you can afford to give them as long as they understand what it takes to have those things. Sinek sounds like he doesn’t actually want millennials to prosper and thinks it’s the corporations responsibility to fix them. He doesn’t understand human beings. He should have a child and see if he can avoid telling them their not special and cannot get many things they want when many of these un privileged families have to take off to work. Every child should believe they are special and be. As blm to get many things they want as long as their willing to equally contribute to get them. The problem with the business world run by the banks right now is that people are being exploited and their is no means to an end in the work force. It’s very dehumanizing.

Simon Sinek doesn’t practice what he preaches nor has the qualifications or background to talk on this subject yet speaks in an calm assertive commanding tone to dictate that he is right. He does a poor assessment of millennials. He generalizes them to all be spoiled. He also thinks it’s corporations responsibility to fix them when the issue runs deeper. Corporate America is run by the banks and it’s the banks that construct our environment and dictate who gets what how much and how this will impact your time relationships with family, friends and society at large. The issue of having meaning and impact in life starts in the home and when parents are slaves yo the banks , feds they cannot put the quality of time into their families which affects society at large.

This is infuriating

At the begining Simon says "milllenials are born after 1994", If I undersand well, we're talking about Z Generation :
Generation Y (Millennials): born between 1981 and 1996
Generation Z: born between 1997 and 2012.

This guy is absolutely right. The millennial generation were given a bad hand by their parents, but they also have a choice to come out of it. They are tough to work with. They have great skills but the cell phone and social media addiction is a major problem.

Amen I love him! ⚖️

Are you giving them yet another .%#}{ out …stop it!
they are smart..,how is your dad now question ????
and such believe in their ability.

My own personal observation of these millennial kids my own kids I myself and almost each and every one all around the world we all are doing so many things always always all the time we all are multitasking inside outside all the times etc etc so much so we all are stuck in the rut of no escape at all isn't this is the root cause of all the problems we all are living a extremely disorderly lifestyles with no times for ourselves

what i find hilarious is when people try to tell me im either "insane" or they would "pass" on all this stuff, that to me actually screams "insanity" your gonna "pass" on all this stuff that exists for the benefit of regular normal every day people? seriously. i can not and will never understand people who say their against any of this stuff, people talk about "freedom" all the time yet they endlessly vote against their own interests and endlessly continue to vote for people who will do NOTHING but make normal regular every dat peoples lives WORSE by NOT EVER giving the people ANY OF THESE THINGS because somehow someway "we cant afford it" or "how you gonna pay for it" yet when pentagon fucks or the entire capitalist system fucks up the clowns running the system the same clowns telling us "we can't affird this" or "how you gonna be for it" are given ENDLESS TAX CUTS!

Who is he

Free food, and free A grades do not work in Asia, so don't worry 😊

I have a business in deep rural KwaZulu Natal. One of the employees has the problem described here to the T. Simon could be talking about her. I'm not at my wits end. I'm not sure where I am. I'm somewhere between intrigued, frustrated, livid and asking the chief to call an Imbizo to talk about why young people are not employable. Our government is giving them money for having babies. Our African values are being turned upside down. My goodness!!!

I'm being very impatient with her but she misinterprets what I do and say.

In our country, they are very eager to take over the government. I shudder to think how things will pan out when they do.

I watched this for my study (business admin) and I love it! Thank you for sharing. My only gripe is it's not long enough :)

Hot air from a privileged guy who has never lived the reality he's trying to be the expert on.

Never thought of All the millennial jokes as rooted in that much truth…assumed it was based on how my old generation x ass is…like with the phone , I for the most part don’t touch it during the day while otherwise occupied , but when I get home I’m all over my IPad for hrs looking things up I’m interested in or need to know for a project etc… or “ultimate golf “ which has become e serious addiction I’m just now starting to Back away from

It’s not a problem to like something.

I'm a gen Xer and I also realized I was addicted to the Cellphone, had to put a stop to the sickening habit of having the damn thing at the table.

Haha😂 très bel avis🎉🎉, cette génération me désespère 😡, il faut les éduquer 😛😛, encore une fois, vs êtes ravissant ✨✨💅🥰, et quel voix🤐🤐, mais bon, cela m'attriste 😢😢😢😢😢😢, bonne soirée à vous😊

Bisous, Isabelle 😊😘😘

I love Simon’s thoughts on social media, we really should be restricting access to it (even if an account says “managed by mom”)

As I millennial, I resonated with most of this minus having parents that told me I could have, do, or be anything and having parents that complain to get you into honors or get you an A. I think that’s specific to wealthy and privileged communities or maybe to people with American parents? (My parents were immigrants) I’d love to know your thoughts (to anyone reading this comment)

I also wish there was some mention of how the job market today expects you to hold responsibilities of 10 different jobs that 10 different people used to do. Those people also had good benefits and their salaries at the time made homeownership more accessible…

It's relative

Spot on, Well spoken. I was a Drama Teacher 😮in the 1980s. They were in my classes. Unlike the others, I was strict, set boundaries and served ultimatums. They all complied, because they wanted to be famous.

I was born in 1985 and happy to say that I was raised by gen x single mom that ran a tight ship and never cut us any slack for anything. She never fought with teachers when they told her I talked too much in class, she'd come home and ask " why are you talking so much in school!? Do it again your getting your a** whipped .lol Hell I was always wrong and never enough and constantly told I could do better as a kid. Always told that we had to work hard and nothing was free. I had no choice but to be tough and glad she was like that, older now I realize that she did love us but wanted us to be accountable and productive members of society.

This is all great. What is the solution?

Very insightful ideas !

So convincingly ignorant. I hate this guy.

LOVE this so much..

THESE YOUNG DUMMIES DONT KNOW WHAT THE COOPERATE LADDER IS!

Excellent lessons we all need to watch and take notes. 📝 Thank you for sharing...

Youth if you don’t want to work hard then please stay at home and get a sitting job! 😂😂😂

If your job is a sales associate that you are supposed to be in the aisle doing inventory but you are so lazy! Then worry about your future retirement!

Customers have a lot of options to buy!

Very bloody true!!

Why does he remind me of markiplier?

A generation of people that doesn't want to work for abusive boomers and gen X!!!!
Is it the slave labour, $100,000 for a degree before you'll look at our resume, won't let us retire until we're 80, your profit margin gets higher every year while you cheap out for Asian labour and the lowest quality products etc., leadership that Don't trust anyone, don't like anyone and will fire you without a care about your livelihood.
Boomers and Gen Xers are living longer keeping wealth and assets without passing them on.
Millennials are busy dealing with boomers and gen Xers mental illness that they refused to sort out because their narcissistic tendencies and post war trauma passed from one generation to the next.

I first watched this video the month it came out, when I was 18 and in my first semester of college, very much at the bottom of the mountain. I've returned to it at least once a year since then, always thinking I had it all figured out. I was future oriented and worked hard all throughout college to be able to move to NYC soon after graduation. But when I got here, I wanted to get the professional job of my dreams right away. I sent out resumes and made flimsy connections with people and it just didn't work. Instead I've spent the last two years in a working class job where I help people every day. I'm building relationships at the cross sections of my deep passions. I work my ass off every single week.

This week I got an opportunity that has put that old professional dream job into reach for the first time. A place for me in the world I didn't even know might exist, all because of that working class job I didn't know I would fall so deeply in love with. And it felt like a completely natural small step, just one out of the thousand that have come before it. I'm 25 now and I feel like I really understand this video for the first time.

All good points - but it is not the job of the boss or employer to be mommy or therapist to its employees - teaching job skills for the specific work they are hired for is one thing, but to say they have to make sure they can function in the world and feel good about themselves is quite another.

There's a fifth missing piece. Utter Godlessness.

I think he is misunderstanding that all people in today's society are having these issues. In addition, he is describing personality traits that exist among all individuals in the work place. These are not tailored to one specific group of people.

so arrogant omg. we're fkn depressed because most of us were abused, molested, exploited, groomed, bullied etc. by and for the benefit of the previous generations. not because of this stupid 'bad hand' we were supposedly dealt. or because we were 'praised too much' and given so-called participation trophies. or told we could do anything. we're struggling to just survive in the world that is being destroyed by boomers while they're on their way out.

i wish i could dislike this video more times

Good image of what is happening, I disagree with the conclusion. It is not the companies to blame. A company os at the end of the spectrum of a productive, happy person. A company and is leaders can help but have little effect after years of school and home hammering these kids with the wrong directions.

Grouping people by generation and comparing them against other is a lame thing to. It's no different than castesim and racism.
Each generation will have something bad to say about other, so let's not have a practice to name the generation when addressing.
Agree about addiction of phone and social media, but its tru across all generations who hv access to them, after all its human nature, don't point a paticular generation for that.

Gotta love how he just skirts around the whole "Can't afford to have a family, have to work 5 times as hard for half the pay" thing. Bro for every millenial who's quitting in 8 months because they aren't a superstar there are 5 who have been working for years with low pay and no raises and 10 who can't even hold a job for more than a year or two without getting laid off because burnout is a self-propagating cycle and employers can smell their distrust. No, no, it's the cellphones, yep. Totally not the fact that the entire world has screwed us from day one and continues to do so because the people in charge REFUSE to allow us to have any kind of quality of life.
All these issues existed in late 2016, and they're worse now. Nobody who matters is talking about them because once they do, the gravy train is over.

I see this, with Z..

Absolutely love it! Thank you for this gem.. And so accurate.
