The Millennials
in Active 20-30
"Y" Generation, natives of globalization,
boomerang generation, Peter Pan generation or
whatever they want to call them, they are young
people born between the 80 'and 90' at the same
time with the internet and digitization. They are a
generation constantly attacked by society, adults
thought that the main characteristics of millennials
are narcissistic, egoistic, and difficult to handle and
even lazy attitudes. Studies like the Deloitte
Millennials 2016 survey show the opposite; 1 out
of every 5 millennials have traits of leaders, 50%
have their own business or intend to have them,
20% boost tourism, 48% agree to migrate to get a
better job, 98% have more than one electronic
device, 67% criticize the way in which they are
governed in their country and 78% seeks a full life
with values. They believe that technology is
paramount in their lives, they care about the
balance in society and seek economic stability
changing their jobs or profession as many times as
it takes.
At present millennials are getting involved in
Active 20-30, a transcendent change. They are
revolutionizing the organization. They are young
people who can teach a lot to people who have
years dominating a subject, seeking to grow as
individuals. It is therefore so important to seek
22
collaborative intelligence, work as a team, concili-
ate, generate a fun atmosphere, count with their
opinion and promote communication.
Why do I tell you all this? I am a millennial who has
been in the Organization for 6 years. With respect
and values I have learned from the other
generations present in our Association, teachings
that today have been useful to develop myself as
an Active Member. In this moment I'm giving a
touch of my essence of the generation "Y" to
Active 20-30, I'm becoming a born leader of
globalization for Active 20-30, and the most
interesting is, that I am not alone, there is others
like me. Currently the Association in Mexico has
decided to give an opportunity to all millennials by
integrating many of us on its board and national
committees, increasing membership in alliance
with prestigious universities in our country such as
the Vizcaya University of the Americas. As a result
of this, we have two more clubs working in our
country and soon, two more will join.
