170 I have grouped what motivates the new worker into six idealized profiles. While each profile has its own defining characteristics, indi- viduals may share characteristics from more than one. Independent Thinkers or Entrepreneurs Personal mantra: "I need to be free to choose and be in charge of what I do, for whom and when." The breakdown: These independent problem-solvers want to own or build their own work, whether working inside an organization on a project or in their own independent business. They are impatient with corporate norms and procedures and have little allegiance to the corpo- ration. Hanging around the office too long or being forced to go to an endless round of meetings makes them antsy. They are motivated by autonomy, and need to feel they are living in a free-form world that they can shape. Independent thinkers are uncomfortable with "received wisdom", preferring to create or invent their own way. They are prepared to take full responsibility for their successes and failures. But in order to do so, they have to be in charge ... They are responsive to having money at risk – whether a bonus, commission, or other type of pay for perform- ance ... Lifestylers Personal mantra: "I work to live, not live to work. I want to enjoy my work, but it's also a means to an end. I want the flexibility to pursue my own personal passions." The breakdown: A range of people fall into this category: young resort workers who want the opportunity to pursue their love of outdoor activities; 30-something parents determined to balance their work and family life; midcareer individuals saddled with elder care responsibili- ties along with commitments to children; and young professionals who value the freedom to pursue personal priorities ... They are typically prepared to work hard to do whatever is nec- essary to get the job done. But they expect their hard work to pay off, by buying them free time they can enjoy in the way they prefer.
