Sommario/riassunto

By 2020, half of America's workforce will be millennials; by 2050, millennials will represent 75 percent of the global workforce. Corporate trainings and consultant workshops-for-hire on dealing with this influx abound, but how, specifically and with impact, can young professionals and their companies flourish? In this era of transparency and accountability, explorations of effective organizations are inseparable from considerations of ethical leadership. How can we best prepare the millennials for productive and positive careers? Can managers leverage the unique skills and talents of this generation toward shared goals and business success? Designed for millennials and their managers, we consider how we can cultivate the strengths of this generation toward a



new business paradigm. Engaging Millennials for Ethical Leadership provides strategies for optimizing performance at work, drawing on emerging research and complemented with perspectives gleaned from students at a top-tier business school and from a diverse group of corporate executives. The book is structured around millennial capacities and inclinations, with each chapter dedicated to specific characteristics and including manager action items for each. We explore the Giving Voice to Values framework as one promising approach to managing millennials, with its focus on enhancing our capacities for ethical action. Through strategic attention to hiring, training, and development, organizations can capitalize on the promise of these new professionals. Companies are compelled to consider these issues for two primary reasons: (1) to attract, develop, and retain top talent, these characteristics, dynamics, and processes must be explored; (2) we are in the midst of a new business paradigm, and many of the gifts and proclivities of this generation of emerging leaders can be leveraged to strengthen and grow effective, ethical organizations that will flourish in this context.

Sommario/riassunto

This book is the second volume of proceedings of the 1st Electrical Artificial Intelligence Conference (EAIC 2024). Artificial intelligence and low-carbon economy are two vibrant research fields in the world today. To achieve the goal of carbon neutrality not only signifies a significant transformation in the economic growth mode and a profound adjustment of energy systems but also has equally significant implications for the global economic and social transformation. In the wave of the rapid development of digital economy, artificial intelligence has become an important driving force for promoting high-quality economic and social development. In the path to the “Dual Carbon” goals, which are the “Peak Carbon Dioxide Emissions” goal and the “Carbon Neutrality” goal, artificial intelligence will play an important role especially in energy conservation and carbon reduction in the electrical field, which is worthy of in-depth exploration and research. In order to promote the deep integration of the electrical engineering and artificial intelligence, successfully achieve the "dual carbon" goals, and promote green, low-carbon, and high-quality development, the China Electrotechnical Society and relevant units jointly held the 1st Electrical Artificial Intelligence Conference in Nanjing, China, during the December 6–8, 2024. The conference invited well-known experts with significant influence in the fields of electrical engineering and artificial intelligence to jointly explore the application of artificial intelligence in the optimization design, fault diagnosis, intelligent control, and optimized operation of electrical equipment, promote the integration of artificial intelligence innovations and various application scenarios, and actively lead the trend of technological innovation. This book is not only a valuable summary of the new developments in the field, but also a useful guideline for the researchers, engineers, and graduate students.
