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.

5Great Book  Feb 21, 2009
If you want to better understand this younger generation, Generation X, this book will help. It is useful for your family, workplace, and life in general.

5Essential reading for Business and Education leaders  Feb 02, 2009
I have been trying to determine how to deal with and understand the differences between Pre-boomers; Boomers; Gen X and Millenials. Underwood's book describes the differences in straight forward langague and then gives ideas on how to deal with the differences. Though geared to the business community, I found it essential reading as an academic admiistrator

5A must read....  Nov 30, 2008
After I watched two of this book's segments on PBS presented by the author, Life and People begun to make sense for the first time.
When I got to work the next day I could not stop talking about it
because, since I work with the public, I get to see the very clear
traits of the different generations....And so many people are
really textbook examples...
I knew I had to get the book bacause it could make me a much
better and more logical friend, acquaintace, parent, sibling and it would improve any kind of relationship, no matter how transient...
All the concepts are things that we all, probably, have in the back of our minds, but nobody had put it into words and explained it until now....
The book was a total REVELATION....I know I will read it several times
so I can integrate it deeply into my consciousness and enjoy much richer encounters with my fellow Human Beings....

4The Generational Imperative  Nov 09, 2008
I bought this book as a source for a talk at my high school reunion. It offered informative and interesting items about my generation, and where we fit in today's multigenerational society. It is also valuable for marketing goods and services aimed at specific generations. I recommend it for casual reading as well as information for marketing.

5What We Should Have Taught Our Children  Jun 13, 2008
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.
