The best kept secret of American government and politics is that it powered by the enthusiasm, passion and over-drive of young professionals. And it’s no secret at all. Year after year, you see the swarm in Washington, DC.

Start ups too are mostly about young professionals and twenty something dreamers who can give everything they got. They tend not to have families or mortgages that chain them down. And multinationals can’t exploit them enough in emerging economies.

Bright, young professionals are the greatest asset to the organization that can channel their energy and passion to creative, innovative and productive purpose.

It’s cat herding at its best. And it can be an extreme challenge – especially if you are focused on processes and technology rather than people.

Moreover, not all young professionals are equal. Identifying those with a leader’s heart early (and coaching them) is critical to moving the herd in the direction of success and results. They are the golden key.
