    Breakthrough Book re: Understanding Millennials' Mindset and Behavior -- Timely, Needed, Instructive, Insightful

    "Overall, the threesome authors should be commended for tackling a most timely, important and complicated set of allied subjects: namely, who are the so-called Milennial generation? What makes them unique, and different from all prior generations? What drives, and deters, them? Why are the Millennials as they are? And what are the implications of the answers to these questions to motivating and managing them today?

    "My compliments on a thoughtful, unswerving focus on those, and other related, questions, and offering insightful, analytic answers based on wide-ranging qualitatitve research and clear-headed thinking from a human behavioral perspective. The explanatory material came to life as you discussed and recommended ways how leaders/managers can adapt their styles/approaches toward enticing Milennials to be themselves and members of organizational teams. The authors push hard into powerfully resistant headwinds in asking long-established managers to adapt how they relate to the "atypical" Millennials, rather than expecting the Millennials to do the adapting to gain acceptance. And even though they're absolutely right about what needs to happen if Millennials are to become allies and not MIAs, it's a tough pill for most managers to swallow, running against the grain of their understanding of a manager's role; that you don't try to push this 'role reversal' notion down managers' throats, but rather work to sensitively coax them to see the "whys" and "hows" themselves illustrates, I think, that the consultant-authors not only talk the game, but practice it.

    "It's a breakthrough work that tees up a crucially important, often misunderstood topic that can't be addressed and applied too soon. This effort to explore the roots of today's need for challenging, atypical managerial adjustments in managing the Millenial generation should, if we've heard their argument, open the door to an ongoing national discussion on how to recast our perceptions of the workplace and the people in it -- if we're to hold onto any semblance of the social contract that has always promised healthy, productive managment-employee relationships in America.

    "It was an enlightening, thought-provoking read, driven far more by the authors' attempts to understand the foibles of human behavior than numerical measurements that tend to be short on explanations and implications. The author team did it well, did it right, and did it in a way that helps all managers/leaders to see and think for ourselves. For that, the business community should be thanking these gentlemen for opening our eyes and showing us the way -- starting with me."

    -- J. David Pincus, Ph.D., former MBA program director, Sam M. Walton College of Business, University of Arkansas, and lead author of Top Dog: a different kind of book about becoming an excellent leader

    Great tool for managers

    I found Managing the Millennials to be very practical in illuminating differences amongst all generations (not just 20-somethings) in the workforce. The authors approach the topic from the managers point-of-view, and discuss the generational values as matters of perception, which I thought was very interesting. Determining the values behind a behavior helps clarify why people do what they do, and can help remove negative connotations. There is no pity party here for Millennials and to my (GenX) eyes some of their values and behavior are off base. But having a better understanding of where they are coming from will help build a foundation for communication - one of the key points of the book.

    I am not a direct manager of Millennials yet, but think the 9 competencies the book covers will be valuable when I do. And I even have a little insight into the builders and boomers above me and what their values are too.

    Good book... highly recommended.

    Must Read

    Great book. Not sure how 2 anonymous people can give this book 1-star with no justification while 2 PhD's give the book 5-stars. I was smart and listened to the "educated reviews."
