The number one challenge with Millennials in the workforce today is hiding in plain sight: There is an ever-widening soft skills gap among the younger members of the workforce.

These skills may be less tangible and harder to define and measure than many of the hard skills, but they are absolutely critical to the success or failure of any individual in the workplace. The problem is that these basic skills—professionalism, critical thinking, and followership—are out of fashion and so are too rarely spoken of nowadays. Today’s young talent is not being exposed to these old-fashioned basics at home or in school. Employers do not usually focus on them either, figuring it is too late. Certainly most managers don’t think it is their place to focus on them, nor do they have the time, resources, or know-how to deal with the soft skills gap.

So the soft skills gap continues to grow, despite the fact that it costs organizations a fortune every day.

Here’s the good news: You can teach the missing basics to today’s young talent. Bruce Tulgan, renowned expert on the Millennial workforce, will offer concrete solutions based on more than 20 years of research to help managers teach the missing basics of professionalism, critical thinking, and followership.
