You won’t know unless you ask!
■ It’s a strength, not a weakness■ Listen to their thought process■ Implement and support their vision
GIVE THEM THE QUESTION, NOT THE ANSWER

something right■ Trust will go a long way to building a

PITFALLS
Treating them like a rookie
Telling them to do their job and not worry about what’s next
Labeling them, “I know you’re a Millennial…”
Giving them the answers, not the questions
Bossing them around
Tell them, “Earn your stripes”
