Ties to Tattoos: Turning Generational Differences into a Competitive Advantage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've seen so many generational articles and books, I was tempted to pass on yet another. When I flipped through it, I saw my litmus test for this topic area -- what years the generations are divided by. It provides me with an indication of whether the author knows the material (i.e., people and generations) or is merely recycling decades-old theories. This book passed that litmus test, so I started reading it.

It's a quick read. It can be read on an airline flight. If it's a longer flight, certainly no problem. If it's a shorter flight, it's laid out well enough that it can be skimmed and most of the information can be picked up. It's not a large book -- and who needs another management tome that exceeds baggage weight limits just by itself.

You may be tempted to skim through and read about YOUR generation. That's fine, but try to go back through and read about the other generations, too. That the idea of the book -- leveraging knowledge about generational differences. Not just as a tool to use on people, but as a way to understand the differences and make teams, and companies, gel.

This should be required reading for any manager, especially one with mixed generations or where the manager is a different generation from subordinates. Certainly read the first and last chapters -- the last chapter title may seem like it's targeted at HR -- ignore that thought and read it.

A refreshing breeze in a genre that has grown musty.
