Summary: A sure cure for workplace agita!
Review: The authors have a great way of explaining the sometimes pain of working with different generations. Humorous and yet valuable stories illustrate how the generations differ, why each has a tremendous contribution to make and, most importantly, how to maximize the potential / productivity of each group. Most encouraging are the Millenials -- our youngest group -- who just may save the world. Hats off to Lynne Lancaster and David Stillman for bringing this topic to life. It's the best business book I've read in years.

Summary: Great, with reservation about millennialists
Review: This is one of those cant-put-it-down-until-finished books for two reasons: (1) lots of stimulating ideas how the different generations view the world of work and (2) it reads very smoothly. My main reservation is that is premature to characterize the newest generation: the so-called millennialists. They are still in their formative stage, so we dont know how they'll view the world yet. On one hand they've seen the best-of-the-best: two decades of economic boom and relative peace. But that changed with the millennium (and after this book was written). There was Columbine, 9-11, and a particuarly nasty economic recession. So this generation is both spoiled and scarred. It will interesting to see how that plays out in the future.

Summary: A Must-Read Regardless of Employment Situation
Review: When a friend recommended this book, I was skeptical. After all, I do freelance work and am not concerned with most workplace issues. However, I found it to be a real page-turner. It is well-written, informative, and amusing. When Generations Collide contains insights that are helpful in all aspects of life from relating to older family members to hiring the right child care provider. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not reading this book.

Summary: Helping to Understand Workforce Dymanics
Review: When Generations Collide brings a much needed perspective to the new organizational issues around managing, motiviating and recruiting in a workforce that spans several generations. A very engaging, humorous and easy to read business tool.
