Did you know, effective 2010, Generation Y now outnumber Baby Boomers. Ninety six percent are part of an online social network.
It took traditional radio 38 years and TV 13 years to reach 50 million users, but iPhone applications hit 1 billion in only 9 months.
Gen Y operates much differently from Gen X.
Gen Y wants to be more supervised through feedback and review. They thrive on goals.
In a changing workplace, do you as a leader understand the more youthful worker?
You may have to change your leadership style in order to relate to a Gen Y worker?
A wise leader adapts his leadership style to fit the situation and the worker.
First Century leader Paul said he became all things to all men that he might win them.
If we’re to successfully engage the next generation, we may have to adapt to their work and learning style.

The New Normal
The New Normal
A major ad executive put it this way, "People are going to emerge from the recession completely changed."
A recent survey showed 32% of respondents said they're spending less across the board. These consumers expect this cutback to be their "new normal”.
People have tightened their belts. That’s not all bad. The secret to contentment in life is not to get more but to desire less. Tightening our personal, corporate, ministry or government belts might be a good thing.
God’s word says: Godliness with contentment is great gain.
Proverbs says: “Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.”
and
“Whoever trusts in his riches will fall.”
So maybe we become richer by focusing on the inward character qualities rather than the outward accoutrements of success. Maybe your business, your ministry, your family will be better by having less.

Jesus says the meek and gentle win everything.
The world sells conspicuous consumption.
Jesus warns of spiritual junk food.
The world says people deserve what’s coming to them.
Jesus says those who experience His mercy will show mercy to others.
The world presents a buffet of sleaze.
Jesus said those who’s inside world is pure will see God.
The world promotes competition.

What a wonderful world it would be if we lived that way.
