Too Many Boomers Like Don Cherry Doesn't Get Gen Y'ers Like Ovechkin
One of the greatest attributes that Gen Y'ers bring to the workplace is their enthusiasm. This generation is savvy enough to know that when they're looking for a job that they should look not just for jobs which match up with their competencies but also their values and interests. So when they come into your workplace, Gen Y'ers as likely as Baby Boomers to be good at their jobs (competency) but Gen Y'ers are more likely than Baby Boomers to value their work and be interested in it. So it shouldn't be any surprise that they're more enthusiastic about the accomplishments of themselves and their team members. And they shouldn't be criticized for that enthusiasm by their older co-workers, even when those co-workers are NHL hockey legends such as Don Cherry.
