"Because of the very tearing of the fabric of our society, Millennials have grown up with little or no mentoring, or positive influence from an elder.  How do we shape them to be the next great generation?" Jim Brangenberg asked this critical question. Jim and his wife, Martha recently interviewed me to discuss my new leadership guidebook, Millennials Matter: Proven Strategies for Building Your Next-Gen Leader.
