Generations, Inc.

From Boomers to Linksters--Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Members of each generation share special signposts: collective experiences that influence our expectations, actions, and mind-sets. They also mold our ideas about company loyalty, work ethic, and the definition of a job well done. And now that five different generations are working together simultaneously from Traditionals to Generation Y and beyond it's even more important to understand where every one's coming from. Written by two generational experts who happen to be father and daughter Generations, Inc. offers the perspectives of people of different eras, eliciting practical insights on wrestling with generational issues in the workplace. The book provides Baby Boomers and Linksters alike with practical techniques. Generations, Inc. provides realistic strategies for all those managers, executives, and employees seeking to coexist, flourish, and thrive together...at the same time.

How can managers, executives, and employees from five different generations possibly work well together? Learn how your company can bridge the generational gap to get everyone operating as a cohesive unit.
