A colleague of mine recently attended a presentation by the head of a Fortune 500 company. A solid Baby Boomer, he was speaking to a crowd of mostly recent or soon-to-be college graduates, trying to sell them on his company’s use of cutting-edge technology. They were pretty interested until he turned things inspirational and decided to impart “how-to-make-it” wisdom to this crowd full of Gen Y faces. There—right there—he began to lose them.
