A generation that we raised?

High expectations of self: They aim to work faster and better than other workers.

High expectations of employers: They want fair and direct managers who are highly engaged in their professional development.

Ongoing learning: They seek out creative challenges and view colleagues as vast resources from whom to gain knowledge.

Immediate responsibility: They want to make an important impact on Day 1.

Goal-oriented: They want small goals with tight deadlines so they can build up ownership of tasks.

Are they really that different than us, doesn't one generation reflect the predecessors?
Or did we really have a hand in raising them, there was such a growth of advancing technology and changing times, this might have influenced them more than parenting itself?
