Born Between 1980 to 2000?
Stop scrolling! Now what age are you?
If you were born between 1980 to 2000, you are a Millennial. If you are in this age group, then sit down and read this
Now that you are comfortable to read, let us go
On a serious note, I am worried about the future of millennials in Cameroon and other African countries where I have done some work.
The way majority of us in this age group face life and do things especially when it comes to career and professional decisions I wonder if we know that Millennials (those born between 1980 and 2000) are and will represent 50 percent of workers in 2020. Moreover, 2025 it is projected we will represent 75% of the workforce.
The laissez faire is high
The ignorance is spiking
The guesswork, try and error attitude is wild
The comfort zone seduction is high
The focus on irrelevant things is a religion
The fasting & prayers with no strategy & hard-work is horrible
The “skillessness” & low professionalism is increasing
The spirit of complaining is crazy
Now look at yourself, look at how you pay attention to your personal growth, to your professional growth, look at your habits, look at your character, look who you hang out with. Now that you have done the looking let me ask you a question... "Do you look like a professional who will take the lead in a season like this?"
Now hear this, Baby Boomers (many of our parents) those born between 1945 and 1964 are retiring every day and space is being created for us Millennials but sadly, we are not ready for the opportunities.
Hear me and read this well, if you are born between 1980 to 2000 you need to adapt or be left behind. You see those workshops, seminars, conferences, masterclasses both offline and online happening around and you are ignoring or minimizing? They are your greatest opportunities to be stretched for the future.
As the Executive President of The Center for Entrepreneurship, Leadership & Business Management Development (CELBMD) Africa (existing for 9 years), I led my team and designed and launched The Future of Work Industry Leaders Fellowship which is another innovative platform to push for the change we want to see in Africa and globally.

2 年Both 1980 and 1999-2000 aren't millennials. Those born in between them are. Get real, that definition is only designed to make millennials appear larger than they really are by subtracting one year from Gen X & 2 years from Gen Z and adding them to millennials. I know people born in 1980 who have kids born in 2000 so how could they belong to a single generation? The textbook definition of Millennials are those who entered young adulthood at the turn of the 3rd millennium and early 21st century and they should be old enough to vote for 2008 and 2016 elections. 1980 borns were already young adults in 1998 while 1999-2000 babies reached young adulthood during Trump presidency so its very unlikely that those born in these years are millennials.
