Set and expect high ethical standards. (8 of 9 in series)

The 2013 Edelman Trust Barometer found that only 17.5% of people around the globe trust their business and government leaders.

As we lose another great actor, likely to a drug addiction, I think of what a mentor said to me when I was 12 years old, “Don’t be addicted to anything.” I often think about that statement. It is best not to be addicted to anything. Think about it. People that have to have their coffee or they are going to be hard to deal with are addicted. People that have to have a drink to settle down are addicted. People that have to play “Sugar Crush” before bed are addicted. People that have to watch that one TV show or they will be upset are addicted. Beware your addictions, big or small, for they run your life to some degree. As Og Mandino said, “We are a slave to our habits. [Therefore,] I will form good habits and become their slaves.”

Provide the newest technology. (7 of 9 in series)

The lives of Gen Y mark the dawn of post-humanism. Gadgets are like an extension of a millennial, allowing them to work better and faster. And, they’ve projected and marketed avatars of themselves through social media for a decade. They become quickly frustrated using techniques and tools that are outdated, because they know better technology will allow them to work smarter, not harder, and get better results. Provide the latest technology that makes sense, provide opportunities to sell you on the value of other technology, and seriously consider the impact. You might be surprised at how many resources they’re aware of, and how they can help.
