The Generational Imperative: Understanding Generational Differences in the Workplace, Marketplace, and Living Room

How is this possible? The essential book for the board room AND the living room? This is the definitive portrait of America's generations in the workplace (generational workforce diversity and human resource strategy), marketplace (generational marketing, advertising, sales, and customer service strategy), and living room (understanding our children, parents, and ourselves in a more meaningful way than ever before). It is the most provocative page-turner covering the fastest-rising business and family topic in America: the story of generational differences. The Silents: America's Last Innocent Generation. Boomers: the rock-the-world generation that is just now taking its turn at the top of American leadership. GenX: so different and misunderstood, an "island" generation. Millennials: America's next great generation; nurtured, demanding, talented. Here is each generation's story, along with the "bible" of tips and tactics that teach businesses how to deal with each generation as consumers and employees; and remarkably, as parents and children. As told by acclaimed generational consultant Chuck Underwood, founder/president of The Generational Imperative, Inc.

5A must read  Apr 28, 2008
By Rob
I saw Chuck do a part of his seminar at a conference in Syracuse, NY in March 2008. He's a captivating speaker on a fascinating subject that I had not explored much previously. He nailed me and how I see my generation which only leads me to believe that he did the same with the other generations as well. More than one person walked out saying "WOW!" I've been recommending Chuck and this book to everyone ever since.

5What We Should Have Taught Our Children  Jun 13, 2008
By Lucky Louis "Behavior Addict"
An excellent example of the differences in generations that didn't seem to exist, especially in the workplace, for many generations before. The current generation entering the working field are not as polite, loyal. This book should be read by everyone 18 and over and should be used as a textbook in all institues of higher learning for training perspective business graduates how to mature, learn and grow professionally and personally.

5The Generational Imperative  Jul 28, 2010
By Karen E. Kirk
After reading this book, I had a greater understanding as to why each generation is so different from the other, and the reason once again for the " Generation Gap" ( a vast gap, if you will) is the difference in our core beliefs and how they were formed. It really helped me to understand the reason why we all struggle to " come together". PEACE

5The Generational Imperative IS Imperative!  Mar 12, 2010
By F. Roman "Founder, CADM Book Club"
Chuck Underwood's artfully written book about how to talk to, market to, work with and manaage anyone from any of the living generations is a Must Read.

I coodirnate a direct marketing association book club and though we read it a few years ago we STILL reference it! My copy is totally dog-earred. It's well researched, reasoned and the information is laid out logically so it's easy to absorb.

Besides having wonderful business applications, I found I understand myself that much better too. My personal and professional lives have benefited.

Do youreself a favor get a copy now.

3A premise worth considering  Mar 06, 2010
By John Walker "Guitar Lover"
While the author's premise and terminology have made their way into the marketing world, the book is brief and a bit glib. Nevertheless, while perhaps not a work of science, it's an easy read and provides a helpful framework for anyone puzzling over their business's relationships with different generations of Americans.
