Who are they and what are they made of? Alternately labelled as digital natives, anxious, stressed, blighted, broke and woke, millennials fascinate and mystify all generations.Using personal cameos and research the book reveals the why, how, what and what ifs, of all things millennial. It draws from my three decades of experience in teaching, researching, leading and mentoring millennials at the university and in organizations.While the interest in millennials ought to be and is growing, and how the millennials will shape as leaders themselves is not forthcoming. Very few works on them and their dynamics with other generations exist in popular literature.
