<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The newest edition of this seminal book on navigating the multigenerational workplace offers practical tips to help any leader bridge the generational gap--and create a healthy culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Written for all who are struggling to manage a workforce with often incompatible ethics, values, and working styles, Generations at Work looks afresh at the root causes of professional conflict and offers practical guidelines for navigating multigenerational differences. By laying bare the most common causes of conflict--including the Me Generation's frustration with Gen Yers' constant desire for feedback and the challenges facing Gen Xers sandwiched between these polarities--the book offers practical, spot-on guidance for managing the differences with consideration to each generation's unique needs.Along with the authors' insights for managing a workforce with different ways of working, communicating, and thinking, the book offers in-depth interviews with members of each generation, tips on best practices from companies successfully bridging the generation gap, and a mentorship field guide to help you support the youngest members of your team--tools, which are the key to helping your workforce interact more positively with one another and thrive in today's wildly divergent workplace culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"Learning about differences may be fun, but learning about cooperation is useful. And it's here that <i>Generations at Work</i> becomes a valuable tool." </p> </p> -- <b>Fast Company</b> (review of the first edition) </p> </p> Annoyed with your workmates and flustered with your staff? Don't understand how they think, act, and communicate--especially the twentysomethings who ask questions all the time and want confirmation that they're doing great? </p> </p> All these difficult people may be nothing more than diverse demographics. Friction among Traditionalists, Boomers, Xers, and Millennials has spiked, as four distinct generations are tossed side by side, cubicle by cubicle--and nobody speaks the same language. </p> </p> <i>Generations at Work</i> offers a refreshing way to root out the causes of workplace clashes and bridge the generational gaps. Now updated to include the Millennial newcomers to the workplace, the book serves as both a sweeping overview of generational differences and a solutions-based managerial guide to molding each group into loyal employees who work effectively with everyone, from tech-savvy, high-needs young people to conformist, hardworking seniors. </p> </p> Packed with original research and eye-opening insights, you'll find explanations of what makes each generation tick, key phrases and tactics for motivating each, best practices from companies with generations-friendly cultures, in-depth interviews highlighting problems and solutions, a field guide for mentoring Millennials--and many more valuable tools for turning today's multigenerational workforce into an organizational asset. </p> <b> </b> </p> <b>Ron Zemke</b> was the author of the bestselling <i>Knock Your Socks Off</i> series and founder of Performance Research Associates, a consultancy specializing in organizational effectiveness. </p> </p> <b>Claire Raines</b> is a nationally recognized expert on generational issues, and the author of Connecting Generations.
