review 1: This is by far the worst book I have ever read. It was moderately offensive, full of conformation bias, anecdotal evidence, and appeals to common opinion. The below quote sums up and refutes 90% of the book. “Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”- Socrates
review 2: The current generation coming into the workplace is significantly different that previous generations in that its members expect to be able to use the same social media technologies they use in their daily personal lives in the wo... morerkplace. Companies seeking to attract and retain the best talent will not only permit this (rather than labeling such use as wasteful and unnecessary) but find ways to use these technologies to connect with and engage their employees, blurring the lines between professional and personal lives and equipping their staff to be their best publicists, recruiters, and achievers.The last two chapters, "Twenty Predictions For The 2020 Workplace" and "Get Ready For The 2020 Workplace", are especially interesting.This is my second time reading this book and I find it even more helpful and inspiring this time than the first time I read it! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enter the future workplace as well as the companies and organizations looking to hire them. less
