It was really interesting to read a summary like that, as I can really see a lot of those characteristics in my friends and myself. Especially the "feeling special" part. We have being well-rounded emphasized to us a lot, and so I think most people are confident that even if they don't have the top grades, their other talents make up for it. Feedback is important too. This may not be just my generation, but the work world is so different than what we are used to, that it can be hard to judge what we are or aren't doing that is important. I think this ties into the big picture idea too- help your young employees understand the big picture and their place in it, and understand where they're being evaluated. They will reward you by performing better in those areas. Wow. It was really interesting to read a summary like that, as I can really see a lot of those characteristics in my friends and myself.

In order to really get the hearts of millenials you should actually listen to them and help them rethink the way you are doing business. Let them challenge everything about the current status quo and help them champion fundamental change in culture and communication. I like your points, but I think you’re being a bit soft.
