Senior Eric Kuhn interviewed Ron Alsop, author of the recently published The Trophy Kids Grow Up, for a Dec. 2 article titled "Trophy Kids in the Workplace" in the Huffington Post. The book is about the "millennial" generation, those young people born between 1980 and 2001 who number 92 million in the United States alone.
Alsop, a freelance journalist and consultant and former Wall Street Journal editor, discussed this generation's unprecedented entitlement, demand for a work-life balance, optimism and parental involvement with Kuhn. Alsop offered his advice to the iPod-carrying generation, what it means to be a "Trophy Kid" and how current employers can capitalize and learn something from the millennials.
