Human Resources: Leadership Book for Gen Y Required by Employers

New Book, "Millennials Into Leadership", Popular With Employers for Training Gen Y Employees to Be Effective Young Leaders at Work Lisa Orrell, The Generation Relations Expert, author of the hit 2008 book, "Millennials Incorporated", has released her new book, "Millennials Into Leadership". Many companies are already making it required reading for their Millennial (aka Gen Y) team members, and they, along with colleges, are also hiring Lisa to conduct her popular Leadership seminars and workshops for their younger employees and students.

San Jose, CA: March 9, 2010 - The combination of Gen X being a small generation, with the U.S. experiencing a labor shortage of an estimated 35 million skilled and educated workers over the next 2 decades, is forcing many companies to move their Millennial (aka Generation Y) employees into leadership roles sooner than generations before them did. To address this booming trend, Lisa Orrell released her second book on Amazon, "Millennials Into Leadership", and she launched a series of in-demand Leadership seminars and workshops for Millennial employees and college students.

Organizations that have hired Lisa to conduct her various keynotes, seminars and workshops, include (partial list): Pepsi, SAP, Paul Mitchell Systems, Cisco, SOPHE, US Autoforce, SEMA, Brocade, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, ISP Sports, Crowe Horwath LLP, Heald College, and USC's Marshall School of Business.

"Many companies quickly move a 20-something employee into a management role, requiring strong leadership skills, but don't provide any leadership training. And this causes many young managers to struggle," explains Lisa Orrell, speaker, author, and Certified Leadership Coach.
"Lack of experience, lack of training, and (sometimes) lack of maturity, are not an ideal combination.
Sadly, a majority of Millennials who attend my presentations have very little knowledge of even the most basic leadership principles, and this is also causing their employer's hardship (on a lot of levels) as they move these young people up the ladder."

"Lisa Orrell is a foremost authority on Millennials. She's been educating employers about them (us!) for years but now also focuses on energizing our young generation directly - to be the leaders we all know we can be," says Millennial Heather Huhman, Founder & President of ComeRecommended.com.
"I made her new book required reading for my employees and college interns, and everyone loved it.
Plus, I recommend her book all the time to our corporate clients as a book they should give their Millennial employees."

Based on Lisa's vast expertise about generational dynamics in the workforce, and leadership training for Millennials, she has been interviewed by countless national and international media, including (partial list):
ABC, MSNBC, NPR, The New York Times, TIME, Wall Street Journal, U.S. News & World Report, Monster.com, HR.com, FoxBusiness.com, BNET.com, China's HerWorld Magazine, Magna Publications Trainee Guides for Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Northwestern Business Review, CareerBuilder.com, and Human Resource Executive.
