OMG that describes me exactly!
But I can manage (I think)!

I find that millenials like me are very driven for success and are results-oriented, sometimes maverick.

Good snippet.

Are you saying that Millenials can’t manage because they’re too self-interested? I’ve found this at times but I do not think you can tarnish everyone with the same brush.
Millenials if guided make excellent managers in my opinion. I find this demographic loyal and keen to deliver results. Perhaps they are ‘extrinisically motivated’, that is, need recognition for their work.
