Abstract:
This presentation will examine “what is leadership”, “why ASHRAE needs leadership”, “why it is our responsibility to grow leadership within our local chapters”, and “how do you mentor generation Y into leaders”. The mentoring process is critical to this success and this presentation includes the elements of generation Y such to explain how these generations think, what their values are, and what makes them tick. In doing so the older generations (current leaders in most situations) can understand “how” to motivate and mentor generation Y into future leaders for ASHRAE and the HVACR industry.
