Inc.com: There's no denying that Millennials are the future of the workforce.
But managing each new generation brings its own challenges, none more so than the current crop, who feel unfairly stereotyped by the negative traits often associated with them: that they're entitled, lazy and self-absorbed, to name just a few.
So how do you spot the next leader among this rising group who, to older managers, seem to spend their lives bent over their phones, may never have hand-written a letter, let alone a thank-you note, and like to photograph their food before eating it?

I think that this article highlights many of the prominent values in leaders, and as many young people nowadays are either forming their own businesses, or quickly working up the ranks in their jobs, this is quite relevant. One of the most interesting topics covered in the article, I found, was the idea of brand influencing vs. being a good business person. If you are to succeed in this world, especially as a leader, then having other people's interests at in mind is helpful, as it will be extremely difficult to find anyone who wants to work with you if you don't care about them. Alternatively, it is also possible to succeed in life by only focusing on your interests and your personal "brand", so it's all up to the individual person to decide what sort of business person they want to be. I myself believe that in the area of theater, especially technical, though it helps in acting, being someone who works while including others' interests at heart is the best way to success.
