With Wall Street in turmoil and the financial system teetering on the edge, corporate America is facing another major challenge: figuring out how to manage the young workers who are joining the company - the millennial generation. Born between 1980 and 2001, this generation grew up doting and self-centered. This article was adapted from The Honey Pot Child Grows Up: The Trophy Kids Grow Up: How the Millennial Generation Is Shaking Up the Workplace, by RON. Ron Alsop is a staff writer at The Wall Street Journal. The book describes the workplace attitudes of the millennial generation and how companies are managing this demanding new workforce.
