Chapterships: A New Methodology for Hiring, Growing and Leveraging the Best Millennial Talent

By Roei Deutsch

Work doesn't work anymore.
It goes down to the very basics.
Our system is based on methodologies built to cater the industrial revolution. It pretty much says that every person should have a clear stationary position next to the production line. Maybe that’s why we address having a job with the words “holding a position”.

Just think of these words for a second.
HOLDING A POSITION.

It has nothing to do with anything the current workforce care about: innovation? Creativity? Leave those outside as you enter a cubicle of despair and prepare yourself for years of frustration.

Come in, grab your seat, and push papers around until you retire.

Is that the message you want to give your employees?
Your team?
Yourself?

Like a sling-shot, we’ve been taught to invest our energy into learning once and then let go.
The entire system is here to tell us: WORK IS STATIONARy. Nothing changes. Learn once and then do the same thing over and over again.

Chapterships is about changing that.

In a world where planes and cars fly and drive themselves, In a world with VR and 3D printing and, oh, yeah, the Internet – you cannot expect ANYTHING to stay the same. You should expect EVERYTHING to change.

As Millennials take over the workforce we can, WE MUST, discuss the future of work; and it cannot continue to look anything like it looks today.

In "Chapterships" Roei Deutsch (26), a Millennial CEO from Silicon Valley, portrays a new exciting way to hire, lead and leverage millennial workforce.

We set up offices in Palo Alto with no social network. As with every start-up, we wanted to hire the best people out there. We began to measure candidates on a scale from mundane to exceptional with the goal of hiring the exceptional ones.

But guess what? Turns out exceptional people in Silicon Valley, as in Tel Aviv, want to start their own projects or, in the very least, have leadership titles. We found hiring the very best to be a significant challenge. We like
