me! me! me!: How #Millennials Will Save the American Workplace - Paperback

by Danielle Shepherd Ph. D. (Author)

In the U.S., there are more Millennials living and working right now than there are people of any other generation. This makes them the most influential generation of our time - by sheer numbers alone! But, you say, this is terrible! Aren't Millennials self-absorbed, addicted to social media, have a sense of entitlement, and are prone to having frequent meltdowns? Basically, aren't Millennials narcissists? Few would deny that they have observed at least one of these behaviors or traits in a Millennial. But what is so often overlooked is how they have inspired and already changed the world - and how they continue to change it daily. Millennials have changed the very way that we communicate and share information. They've changed the marketing industry and provided opportunities for anyone with a camera, smart phone, or laptop to become an instant star - no acting classes or headshots necessary! There is no argument: Millennials are BAE (Brilliantly Advancing Everyone)! There is something special about Millennials, but what is it? The reason that Millennials are special is because they have the capability to be Transformative Narcissists! What in the world is a "Transformative Narcissist"? A Transformative Narcissist is a leader who embodies both productive narcissism and transformational leadership. A leader with a narcissistic dominant personality who inspires and drives commitment from others to achieve their vision for significant change.There are three primary generations in the workforce today: Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials. Of these, Millennials dominate. But, these three generations have trouble communicating and working together! This book is based on research conducted by a Millennial on Millennials. It provides a closer look at narcissism as a dominant personality trait in the workplace among Millennials - and reveals how it can be harnessed in order to make great changes in the world!
