Week 11/03

Being involved in business affairs can be messy for the youth.  The youth, as stated in the article, has a tendency to become too attached to gossip, stubbornness and immature attitudes.  This creates issues for corporations as well as many professional environments.  The young adults fresh out of college sees him or herself as a prime associate and free to do as he or she pleases, when in reality, the young adult needs to prove him or herself worthy and responsible as any new employer should. With this being said, social intelligence is a must. Social intelligence includes when to speak up and when to shut up.  It always consists of being quick to adjust to others’ behaviors and working with a diverse range of colleagues.  This can be important through any endeavor because often relationships have the impact to make or break the associate and even the company.  If an associate were to show up to a company event dressed inappropriately or with behavioral signs of arrogance, etc. the employee would most likely be demoted. 

                “The First Soft Skill to Develop in Students” touched on the fact that past generations’ youth did not have nearly as many issues as today’s youth.  Teens and young adults in the past, treated their bosses with respect and gratitude, whereas today, the youth struts in “many treating the work place like their dorm space.”  If the youth would learn self-awareness and respect, it would be a game changer in the world of business.
