"When you finish reading this book, it will not go on the bookshelf. Instead , you will keep it at your side and use it as a reference manual. It is loaded with many 'how to' tips that are practical and timely. The authors effectively debunk the myths attributed to the various generations and chart a path to success."

What generational category do you fall into? What about your boss...your co-workers...your direct reports? Do you recognize any differences in work style, work habits or needs that are a result of the different generations that you represent? What are the strengths and challenges that result from those differences?
Discover the answers in Bridging the Generation Gap: How to Get Radio Babies, Boomers, Gen Xers, and Gen Yers to Work Together and Achieve More by Robin Throckmorton, MA, SPHR and Linda Gravett, PhD, SPHR.
In this book, HR experts and members of different generations share real-life examples as they recommend solutions to minimize conflict, miscommunication and wasted energy between the generations. They also explore what members of each different generation think of their group, how they want others to view them and what they think about other age groups.
Bridging The Generation Gap is filled with strategies and solutions that are easy to implement and that immediately build bridges between generations not only within the workplace but also in day to day life.
