Cries of frustration are heard billowing down the halls of the corporations as managers desperately try to figure out how to motivate and manage millennials.

Contrary to common stereotypes, not every millennial requires a trophy. Motivating millennials takes many different forms. In this book, Ryan Vet takes the reader on a journey through history.
