I can’t believe all the conclusions people are jumping to here. Walker was talking about the league in general.

Plus that mentality is the same with most millennials. You can’t be too harsh or they quit. Nothing he said is wrong and nothing he said should make you worry about the locker room.

Nice ignorance. I am really proud of you.
 
You haven’t read much about millennials in the work place have you?
Millennials are not that different from other generations. Its a big assumption -- unsupported by empirical evidence to think that Millennials are distinctly different than other generations.

This is especially true for how leaders influence, support, and motivate their troops to do good work. This is where I see so much damage being done, to any generational employee.

At least 75 percent of the reasons for costly voluntary turnover come down to things that managers can influence. One way to severely discourage and disengage employees of any generation is to treat them as if they're invisible. As a manager, if you're hoping to keep people engaged, get ready to start talking about their work a lot. And not the kind of conversation that happens only once a year in those dinosaur-era performance evaluations. The focus should be on making your feedback shorter, more frequent, and constructive. This is what every high-performing employee wants.

Also this NFL GMs need to recognize their leaders. Did you know that receiving recognition is the most important performance motivator? Sure, a paycheck or a bonus is good, but that money will be spent tomorrow. But being recognized in front of the organization for the hard work that you put in? That's gold, because everyone can then see the value that you're bringing. Look at Ramsey with Jacksonville, not only is he mad that he hasnt got paid but he sees his other former employees that got paid with less work than he has, and thats why his been a distraction. Point made, you want to build employee loyalty across generational lines? Simple: Allow them a seat at the table to make decisions and exercise influence over things that matter in the business. Think of projects, tasks, and meetings about strategy, mission, and culture in which you can involve your most valued workers, whether they're 26 or 62.

I just ask that you read some more articles on it. Millennials are different. Every generation is different. There are plenty of articles that talk about millennials leaving the work place and their attitude behind it.
 
We're firmly off-topic now, but one thing I notice with those younger than me in the workplace (Im 30 in 2 months), is a sense of entitlement, and the obvious need for instant gratification.

I have. I've also researched studies that deny that fact. Gallup found that 50 percent of employees left their job "to get away from their manager to improve their overall life at some point in their career." Contrary to the false impression that Millennials are lazy and unmotivated, research has proven that they are very much interested in leadership positions and rapid career advancement. But here's the thing: So are people from every other generation it's innate in the best of us to want to grow and develop as human beings! Key point here: Ambitious and motivated people of every generation value the opportunity to influence the organization for which they work.

It's time we stop talking about how different Millennials are in the workplace and reinforcing false generalizations about a whole generation. The truth is, we all want what Millennials want.

Because not everybody wants to work maximum effort for minimum wage, and not be able to live comfortably lol. Millenials would rather take risks in entrepreneurial fields and do what they love then work a 9-5 for 30 years and be miserable and not have any flexibility.

No one is saying anything about being lazy or unmotivated lol that is not what is being debated right now.

oh boy here we go lol. Minimum wage jobs aren’t meant to be careers.

If you are an entrepreneur you aren’t working 9-5.

I'm not disagreeing with you. As a millennial I think our generation is extremely lazy, HOWEVER, you used to be able to live off minimum wage. You need those hours to able apply to apply for other jobs that require experience. And to sum it all up back on topic. I don't disagree with Delanie at all, but I also think the generation before has a kink for always trying to make things seem like they were way more tough in the past when that's not necessarily true.

I agree with the every generation thinking they have it way more tough. Its all relative. We’ve all heard the up hill both ways story haha.
 
Wow. Strong words here about Amy and Jrob. I'm not sure Pollard is the first guy I would look to for an opinion like this, but also not sure he's wrong...


What Walker was talking about in that clip was exactly how the entire league is now - this was not specifically about the Titans in general. So I’m not sure what that clip has to do with Pollards statement - don’t understand the correlation?

I think Pollard really missed the boat on this one.
