Description
Discover a simpler, smarter way to understand generational differences in the workplace - and overcome them! For 30 years, discussions about generational differences at work have grown increasingly complex and frustrating. Beginning with Generation X, experts have identified three, then four, and now even five distinct generations operating side by side - each allegedly unique and requiring their own management approach. If you buy all that, the more generations that share a workplace, the tougher it is to collaborate productively. But the conventional wisdom is wrong. It isn't so complicated, and it doesn't have to be so difficult. In Us vs. Them, Jeff Havens offers a simpler, more intuitive model - and actionable solutions. Think of two generations, not five: older, more experienced workers, and their younger, less experienced counterparts. Suddenly, you can frame generational issues in a more straightforward and sensible way - and find simple solutions that were previously intractable. Packed with statistics, historical analyses and real-world examples, Us vs. Them addresses each root cause of generational tension at work, including differing attitudes toward loyalty, innovation, change, career advancement, and continuing education. Havens cuts through stereotypes, offering surprising (and evidence-based) insights about both older and younger employees. Once you see your workplace in this simpler, more accurate way, it's easy to master Havens' powerful strategies for tackling generational issues. From planning career advancement and succession to managing the pace of innovation, you can put Havens' ideas to work right now - and for the rest of your career. Whether you're an executive, HR pro, talent strategist, or entrepreneur, if you want to get the most out of your people regardless of their age, you need Us vs. Them.
