What do today's employees want?

Today's new generation of employees are vocal about what they want their workplace to look like; they are suspicious of the older Traditional management styles, which they view as managing, administering, and in some cases stifling, unreasonable and unwarranted. They want managers who will recognise them for their efforts, and who work in a collaborative, supportive and motivational manner.

They want a say in how their workplace is managed, where free-thinking, empowerment, service, and community are put ahead of self-interest. They have a greater need for feedback and reinforcement than their predecessors and look for praise for their being tech-savvy. 

Today's employees are demanding higher levels of job satisfaction and managers who are more like leaders, who are open and honest, fair, and reasonable and value their team members’ contributions. Today's employees respond favourably to a modern management style. No matter how they are viewed, the simple truth is that the new generation looks at work dramatically differently from the previous one.

The steps in this book are aimed at building modern management skills. Becoming a manager is an arduous business and is a continuous learning and self-development journey. The book acknowledges that some people fail, which is not surprising given the difficulty of the transition to management, for others, it can be disorienting and overwhelming.

Something all managers discover is that the position is even more demanding than anticipated and that the skills and methods you used as a worker and a team member are starkly different, revealing a significant gap between current capabilities and the requirements of a management position.
