review 1: Part of my role as a training consultant is to support organizations as they onboard and attempt to retain the millenials (20-early thirty somethings) as they bump into the values of us baby-boomers (50ish and beyond). The elders hold the knowledge and 'reigns' in many cases while the newest workforce has a vastly different working 'DNA - and thus the chaos and conflict begins... I thought this was a good book and one that was thought provoking. I find it hard to rate a book like this as a 5 just because a 5 to me means that I just couldn't put it down. Worth the read.
review 2: At the request of a client for how to "discipline" performance problems with 20-somethings, I started a lit review on current research about managing Generation Y. This book is wri... moretten by a Yer and gives an honest assessment of how Yers are motivated in the workplace. As a Gen Xer with a tendency toward Boomer paradigms, I must admit that I wasn't happy that I'll have to completely change some of my assumptions about management. However, we have 2 choices: 1)ignore the reality of Gen Y and expect them to adapt to us oldies (highly unlikely), or 2) adapt some of our behaviors to manage them appropriately. This book will paint a clear picture of the Gen Y psyche at work.As an aside, did you know I found TONS of resources for how we all should adapt to Gen Y, but NOT ONE book on how Gen Y should adapt to Gen Xers or Boomers in the worksplace?? Strange, considering that we hold the purse strings in most organizations! Someone ought to write that book! less
