> I see some of the best ideas coming from the younger generation that have not yet been in the job market.

The views of these business leaders betray their own lack of vision, they are barking up the wrong tree.

The ability to think differently is not the preserve of the young. Instead of only hiring a bunch of greenhorns they should identify and cultivate people who are idea generators and flexible thinkers, of any age group, starting inside their own organization.

If you, as a business leader, are not stimulating a culture of innovation and instead maintain the status quo of traditional hierarchical roles where managers become gatekeepers of ideas, and everyone is protecting their own little domains, then you are the problem. Shit organizations will quickly turn original-thinking young people into corporate drones.
