It is both an art and a science for which there is little training or information. Scott has studied and delineated the process of effective acknowledgment and broken it into five “languages” – Trust, Respect, Appreciation, Interest and Listening. Becoming fluent in these languages is the key to empowering your team as well as being able to accept all the acknowledgment you deserve.

Gen-Y). Because many of them were raised with technology advantages and protections not available to any previous generation, they are literally wired differently, neurologically speaking. The way they behave is confusing, confronting and frustrating to many employers. It doesn't have to be that way. When managers understand the reasons millennials think and behave the way they do, it is much easier to integrate them with the non-millennial workforce. This presentation explains what to expect and how to ride the coming millennial wave.
