    I am a boomer. Thank you for the insight not totally in agreement with your overview. Have been a independent contractor the majority of my life. Worked my butt off still do but also know how to go down.

    What I am finding out now hiring and mentoring younger generations is their work ethic towards having passion and focus is very slim.

    At times feel like their mother and throw my hands up in frustration. Any ideas?

    1. Hi Melody. Thanks for the thoughts.
      Is is passion, focus and work ethic in general, or passion and work ethic for your projects. I know that seems like splitting hairs but I’ve found millennials actually incredibly hard workers when they’re intrinsically connected to the task. I know that’s hard to judge in a simple interview, so you may end up with lots of false positives. I’d suggest you check out Brad’s book, as well as some of the work of CounterMentors (a boomer dad and millennial son who discuss workplace issues).
