The Top 3 Ways to Engage and Keep Millennials Fiercely Loyal

Times Have Changed, Are We As Leaders Changing With Them? 

The Top 3 Ways to Engage and Keep Millennials Fiercely Loyal

I think you’d agree: The greatest leaders are those who are most adaptive. Maybe you, in fact, are a leader and understand that to be the best, you must keep adapting and growing. As such, your organization must do the same. If you carry these beliefs, it’s likely you’ve been a leader for a long time, and your organization has what appears to be an established culture.

Has your culture adapted, however, so that it’s ready for the largest worker influx in history, the Millennials? Do you have a culture that actually does — and will continue to — generate fierce loyalty? To answer these questions, we will have to take a step back and look at what it takes to generate fierce loyalty in your people — and, more specifically, what drives people and keeps them engaged. As I specifically outline in my upcoming book, “Fiercely Loyal: How High Performance Companies Develop and Retain Top Talent,” the Millennial workforce is motivated by very different factors than the previous generations.

If you want to generate fierce loyalty in your team, you will need to ensure certain things are active parts of your culture and development. Here are three primary motivating forces that Engage and Keep Millennials Fiercely Loyal:

1. Your people know that they have a genuine sense of autonomy.
2. Your people have training and development available to them that facilitates them being able to develop mastery.
3. Your people have certainty that they are engaged in meaningful work in a purpose-driven organization.

When a company culture has these three things at its very backbone, it is able to build fierce loyalty in its employees. If your corporate culture has any sign off, like “That’s not the way we do things around here,” or in any way demeans any one of the areas just outlined, I’m sorry to say that your culture is not one that will generate fiercely loyal talent over the long haul.

Simply put, for these kind of organizations, the writing is on the wall. You as a leader of your organization, and the organization itself, must adapt or risk dying off — or, at the very least, fading off into irrelevant oblivion.

I created the Authentic Leadership Matrix after a lot of experience and research. One of the questions I'm asked often is what authentic leadership is and how do we define it. As a result, I created the matrix. It splits what leadership is into five separate categories. So, that you can take a clear look at how you perform in each of the five main areas that are required for you to become a world class authentic leader. The process takes you through each category simply with yes or no questions.
