Including the latest announcements from Dynegy,100,000 Megawatts of Coal Generation have closed

since 2010.

“Dynegy Rips System Operator for Power Plant Closures”By Paul Ausick May 5, 2016 1:10 pm EDT

Merchant power generator Dynegy Inc. (NYSE: DYN) said on Tuesday that it will shut down three of its Illinois coal-fired stations by March of 2017 because the units failed to recover their basic operating costs in the most recent Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) capacity auction. Dynegy had earlier said it will close a fourth Illinois station for similar reasons.

In all, the four closures comprise 2,800 megawatts of generation capacity in Illinois, or about 30% of the generating capacity in the southern part of the state. Dynegy also noted that the three plants slated for closure earlier this week support nearly 4,000 direct and indirect jobs and $1 billion in annual economic activity in the region.

Renewables need to be built where the resource is available, which

means large transmission lines to transport the power from the source

to the load centers and to tie different parts of the country

together.

• Millenials (Gen Y-ers) have little patience, if they’re not happy… They leave.

Gen Jones (1953-1965)

• As teens in the 1970’s—popularized the slang term “jonesin’” (meaning a craving or yearning)…

– turned out to be a core personality trait of this generation of huge expectations left unfulfilled

• Between the personality extremes of the Boomers’ idealism and the Xers’ cynicism lies the more balanced mainstream “Jones” quality

• The “keeping up with the Joneses” connotation reflects a collective competitiveness of the Generation Jones birth years

Gen Y Invented by the Boomers

• Boomers raised Gen Y to believe that they can do anything and be anything.

• Boomers made their lives easy enough that they now believe they deserve to live first and work second. (How dare them!)

• So the first thing Boomers have to do is stop being pissed off at their own creation and embrace the brilliance of this Gen Y community.

Page 97: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Gen Y’s Four Main Motivators

• Challenging, stimulating and varied work -work on a variety of projects ,learn and use new skills

• Pay - high self esteem gives high expectations, and if they feel pay is low, they feel undervalued. May also be paying off school loans.

• Career growth learning and development - need to know how the tasks they are assigned now will fit into the “big picture” of overall career.

• Enjoyable work environment - all about interacting with their peers…don’t want to be isolated. Want their work environment to be fun.

Page 98: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Gen Y-ers

• Demotivated by four factors:

– boredom

– a lack of respect or recognition

– an inability to learn, grow and develop

– having a bad boss

Page 99: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

How Do You Reach Them?

• Understand that Gen Y is an “experience” culture.

• Don’t want to be told what to like or what to do.

• Want to experience the world for themselves and pass their own judgment.

• Love to be in the trenches of life, and they want to be there with their friends.

Page 100: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

How to Earn Their Respect

• AUTHENTICITY

• They don’t waste time on people who are not being real with them. – Authentic is cool.

– Authentic is truthful.

• This generation has seen it all, from televised wars to 9-11 to the hanging of Hussein.

• They know real when they see it, and it takes them all of three seconds to pass that judgment.

Page 101: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Page 103: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Generation Differences in the Military

• Traits of Millennials (Gen Y-ers) adverse to Military Tradition– Adoption of culture (baggy clothes, piercing,

tattoos)

– Casual indifference to distinctions (race, ethnicity, sexual orientation) e.g. “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell –feels absurd to them– there is no shame in asking or telling.

– Most tolerant generation on record

• The oldest members are Navy lieutenants and Captains in the Air Force, Army and Marines

Page 104: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Page 105: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Generation Gap Overemphasized

Are we Victims of stereotyping ---- Blind to commonalities ?

• Boomers, X-ers, and Millennials have same expectations from employers

– Work on challenging projects

– Competitive compensation

– Opportunities for advancement and learning

– Fair treatment

– Work/life balance

Page 106: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

All Generations Must Fulfill the Mission

• Differences can be tolerated as long as they do not interfere with the mission– Cell phones on emergency responses

– Taking their time when alarm goes off (can’t get out of bed– or won’t stop task)

– Disregarding a command because you don’t like the tone of the officers voice (or don’t like the officer)

– Disregard policy • Wearing proper uniform – not FDNY t-shirts on duty

(unless you work for FDNY)

• Tobacco - (chew because you can’t smoke)

Page 107: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Focus on Shared Values

• Similar ‘top’ values – Family tops the list for all generations

• Everyone wants respect – though not defined the same way.– Boomers – “give my opinions the weight deserved”

– Millennials/ Y-ers – “listen to me…pay attention to me”

• Nobody likes change – age is not a factor… Has to do with what you will loose/gain

Page 108: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Focus on Shared Values

• Loyalty depends on context – e.g. hours at work – older workers may spend more time because they are at a different level.

• Everyone wants to learn – want to have the education needed to perform well

• Everyone likes feedback – want to know how they are doing/ what they can do better

Page 109: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Ways to Minimize Differences

• Avoid characterizations based on age – “Old Farts vs. Young Punks”

• Focus on Similarities- use body part analogy

• Recognize that change occurs – punch card, floppy disks, thumb drives wireless

• Recognize value – keep what works from the past and be open to new ideas

• Become curious for the unknown – desire knowledge

Page 110: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Ways to Minimize Differences

• Ask questions rather than make statements –teachable moments (e.g. Do you think that was the best approach?)

• Define acronyms – IT people have great difficulty talking with non IT people

• Paraphrase before answering – (Your perception and their intended point may be very different)

• Acknowledge when someone of a different age is correct – maturity, learning and experience can enlighten

Page 111: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Advice for Boomers

• Learn to use technology

• When making assignments explain the expected endpoint (then let them figure out how to achieve it) … their ways may not be the same as yours

• Communicate benefits

• Lighten up!

Page 112: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Advice for Y-ers

• Show respect for Boomers

• Take your time- get to know people (not just the task)

• Be friendly – relationships are important

• Choose face-to-face conversation

• Give your full attention – don’t do something else when talking to someone

• Learn the job… don’t just want to LOOK the Part

• Learn the structure/ politics of the organization

• Learn the history– seemingly odd decisions are often based on history

Page 113: WESTERN LAMPAC 2016 SPRING CONFERENCEwesternlampac.org › 2016 SPRING CONF › TUESDAY MAY 24 2016 P… · western lampac 2016 spring conference sandia resort and casino albuquerque,

Advice for Managers

When communicating with:

• Gen X-ers – don’t waste time, be direct/ straightforward, avoid corporate speak, send email with details

• Millennials/ Gen Y-ers – be positive, send a text message, tie to personal goals or to goals of the team, don’t be condescending, avoid cynicism and sarcasm.
