Nowadays, most employees of local high-tech industries are below the age of 35,and for newly rising industries such as computer software and the Internet, the figure is below 30.People in this age bracket(阶层)are known as Generation-X, which is made up of those born between 1963 and 1981(i.e. those aged between 17 and 35).Compared with those born from 1946 t0 1960, Generation-X are typically independent, they also have their shortcomings. Employers often complain that Generation-X are a group hard to manage. Although willingness and enthusiasm are highly valued by Generation-X, they will not accept orders blindly. In short, Generation-X will not accept authoritarian(权力主义) leadership. They expect their leaders to have a detailed understanding of the job, and most importantly, to treat them as an important member of them as partners.

As a result, managing Generation-X employees is not only a science but also an art. There are basic guidelines to follow in managing them and helping them perform at their best.

1. Support them in their quest(追求)for knowledge skills;

2. Room for creativity and failure.

3. Provide frequent and timely feedback(反馈)

4. Provide communication channels.

If managers follow these basic guidelines, they may find that the employees they once considered as young, selfish and uncontrollable turn out to be responsible and energetic team players.

2.From the article we know that the writer_____

3.If you were a manager working with Generation-X ,you should ____.
