Are Millennials Down with CEO Whip Crackers?

In the recent article by George Anders in the Wall Street Journal he highlights a study done by a Professors Steven Kaplan out of the University of Chicago Business School.

His major finding:

"We found that 'hard' skills which are all about getting things done, were paramount,"

"Soft skills centering on teamwork weren't as pivotal. That was a bit of a surpise to us."

You will have to read the article to get more information on this study. But I found it interesting that the CEO's who are being celebrated as effective are those that "get the job done" rather then those who include the team. I wonder how this is going to play out with Gen Y as they hit the workforce? Gen Y tends to want to work for organizations where they can collaborate with others and value immensly being involved in the process. If CEO's who are effective tend to lean more towards command and control to get the job done. I am not sure in the future they are going to be very good at retaining people. It would be interesting to take a look at these qoute on qoute effective CEO's and see what the retention is like at their companies.
