Is hospitality developing the next generation of leaders?
From Classroom to BoardroomGeneration Y has the potential to shape every life stage that they enter. Millennials grew up in a time of economic prosperity, stable divorce rates and fewer siblings. They have also lived during times of great economic uncertainty, terrible natural disasters, therefore they place value on life and self fulfilment. Millennials are simply wired differently as compared to previous generations.The traditional hospitality leadership framework may then not fit the unpredictable and fast-paced environment that exists today.Are we preparing the emerging leaders to be ill prepared to take command of the future? The hospitality industry needs to adjust to accomodate the new wave of Gen Y workers.
