Summary: As an X'er, this book has it right!
Review: I picked up this book to learn more about how to motivate and retain the good people working for me in a very stressful environment. Not only did I pick up a lot of useful information that I could employ, I was able to relate to much of the information and identify for myself what kind of an employer I wanted to work with. Beyond work, I picked up some good information that is helpful in my friendships and relationships with others my age (29) in terms of understanding what they need from me in those personal relationships. This is a great book that I would recommend to anyone dealing with X'ers. It is great as a management tool as well as in personal life.

Summary: The Best Cookbook for Leadership
Review: This is a book for the experience or inexperienced leader. While it is written as a set of get-well recipes, the author recommends to take one or two ideas, study the concept, and work these with your team. You will see the results fairly quickly, and you don't need to follow the recipe exactly, either. The book is common sense and is written in an easy-to-read style. It is required reading in our organization.
