To do so, leaders need to sort through a myriad of forecasts, predictions and weak indicators of change to make timely decisions. This volume addresses the most critical factor for future success: people and, specifically, harnessing the potential the current youth cohort will bring when they join the full-time workforce. Drawing on multi-disciplinary analyses by 37 researchers, the book presents an integrative assessment of the characteristics that those in the current youth cohort are likely to bring to the workplace. The focus is on those born after 2005 with an examination of the implications of this cohort being raised from birth immersed in an increasingly omnipresent digital environment which extends far beyond social media. The authors see the coming ?digital tsunami? as creating disruptive effects across major elements of our economy and even society however optimistically conclude that the digital environment and the development of 21st Century skills in schools will equip the next generation with essential competencies, attitudes, social skills and work goals. The key to harnessing the potential of this generation will be to modify current human resources and workplace practices which will mean sweeping away much of the ?boomer? legacy that this cohort has imprinted on organizations. To assist leaders, the book goes beyond presenting a rich portrait of who these youth may become by providing practical recommendations for the changes that need to start now in order to position the organization to benefit from what they will bring. As the astute strategic leader knows: objects in the future can be closer than they appear. . 410 0$aManagement for Professionals,$x2192-8096 606 $aLeadership 606 $aPersonnel management 606 $aYouth?Social life and customs 606 $aCulture 606 $aTechnology 606 $aIndustrial sociology 606 $aIndustrial psychology 606 $aBusiness Strategy/Leadership$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515010 606 $aHuman Resource Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/517000 606 $aYouth Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411140 606 $aCulture and Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411180 606 $aSociology of Work$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22240 606 $aIndustrial and Organizational Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20030 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aPersonnel management. 615 0$aYouth?Social life and customs. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aTechnology. 615 0$aIndustrial sociology. 615 0$aIndustrial psychology. 615 14$aBusiness Strategy/Leadership. 615 24$aHuman Resource Management. 615 24$aYouth Culture. 615 24$aCulture and Technology. 615 24$aSociology of Work. 615 24$aIndustrial and Organizational Psychology. 676 $a658.05 700 $aOkros$b Alan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063411 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367249303321 996 $aHarnessing the Potential of Digital Post-Millennials in the Future Workplace$92532135 997 $aUNINA
