How to manage Generation Y employees

A fascinating article on The Manager talks about how to manage salespeople born around 1986 - 2000. In fact, the article content is useful advice for any older person who must manage younger people.

As with most articles about Generation Y, the key message (for me at any rate) is about their loyalty and how much harder it will be to retain them. What are the secrets to retaining them? For one, they are "information" generation to whom the Internet is second nature. Therefore, one way to manage them would be to allow them to reach their own conclusions by letting them seek the information they need. Older team members, on the other hand, are more used to being "told" what to do. In fact, this is another area where the old could profitably learn from the young.
