New College Grads Meet Old School Business

College seniors are in their final semester and counting down the days until their May graduation! A few things the seasoned executive should keep in mind when employing, and hopefully enjoying, the young, enthusiastic professional--

Young professionals want to feel as though they are contributing to the organization and the greater good & that their employer is helping them to develop and prepare for their professional futures.

A simple exercise in business communication:
Managers and new grads should separately write down their expectations for a project. When finished, exchange lists and review together. You'll be amazed what communication may come from this and how many interesting ideas and opportunities will arise to tackle those tough projects.

"If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you'll be amazed at the results." George S. Patton
