I left out they had been asked to leave the displays alone. Follow through is often the difference in being competitive. Excellent points Ted.

Was the assistant empowered to re-do displays? After the displays were re-done, was she asked to leave them be so that their effect could be evaluated? Could/should she have been included in the re-set in the first place? I don't quarrel with your point that Gen-Y, like all generations, have different experiences which shape their values and perspectives, but you were trying to help a client improve their merchandising. The client needs to follow through. With all due respect, this isn’t so much a Gen-Y issue as it is a management and communication issue. Was the assistant empowered to re-do displays?
