Some say “but it’s my alarm clock.” Buy an alarm clock. But if it’s in the living room, it’s relaxed, it’s fine. We wake up in the middle of the night because you can’t sleep, you won’t check your phone, which makes it worse. We should be charging our phones in the living rooms. It’s the slow, steady consistency and we need to create mechanisms where we allow for those little innocuous interactions to happen.ĥ. None of us should charge our phones by our beds. Even bad times don’t form trust immediately. Let me help you.” “Really?” - That’s how trust forms. “Hey did you ever get that report done?” “No, I totally forgot.” “Hey, I can help you out. He’s actually at home now.” “Oh I’m glad to hear that.” “That was really amazing.” “I know, it was really scary for a while there.” - That’s how you form relationships.
We ask personal questions, “How’s your dad? I heard he was in the hospital.” “Oh he’s really good thanks for asking. When sitting and waiting for a meeting to start, instead of using your phone with your head down, everyone should be focused on building relationships. That isn’t helping them overcome the need for instant gratification and teach them the joys and impact and the fulfillment you get from working hard on something for a long time that cannot be done in a month or even in a year.Ĥ. There should be no cellphones in conference rooms. That aren’t helping them overcome the challenges of a digital world and finding more balance. That aren’t helping them learn the skills of cooperation. We are putting them in corporate environments that are not helping them build their confidence. We care more about the year than the lifetime. They care more about the short-term gains than the life of this young human being. In other words, it’s highly, highly addictive…ģ. Dopamine is the exact same chemical that makes us feel good when we smoke, when we drink and when we gamble. We know when you get the attention it feels good, you get a hit of dopamine which feels good which is why we keep going back to it. The trauma for young kids to be unfriended it too much to handle. It’s why we count the likes, it’s why we go back ten times to see if the interaction is growing, and if our Instagram is slowing we wonder if we have done something wrong, or if people don’t like us anymore.
That awareness was part of their climb to such global success.Ģ. In a 2012 study, Harvard research scientists reported that talking about oneself through social media activates a pleasure sensation in the brain usually associated with food, money and sex. There is a strong correlation of addiction with technology and the dopamine cellphones release in our brains.
Simon sinek millennials how to#
Here are some of Simon’s ideas on how to lead the Millennials: Owners and managers should understand it will be difficult to break bad habits ingrained by over two decades of reinforcement.Īnd it will be tough to break Millennials of their addiction to instant gratification.According to Simon Sinek, Millennials are no different when it comes to what they way, in comparison with any other generation, the only difference being that Millennials are the first generation with the guts to ask for it and to expect it. This means mentoring and coaching are important. The solution is for business owners to nurture Millennials, rather than condemn them. The problem is made worse by the ubiquity of the mobile phone which has no age restriction, unlike alcohol or tobacco. Addition to smartphones was labeled as a problem, where people struggled to put down their phones the same way a person might struggle with drugs or alcohol. The blame for this is social media and instant gratification, which are the products of corporate greed and engineering.
Many found themselves unable to earn raises or promotions. However, these Millennials eventually found themselves in the real world which is competitive and expects results. Some children got into honors classes because their parents complained, Sinek said.
Millennials have been told they were special and grew in a time when all children were given awards regardless of how well they performed.
