As management ages and prepares to work longer than previous generations and Millennials join companies at a steady rate, companies are faced with the truth: they can’t just wait for management to age out to fix the dissonance and tension between Boomers and Millennials in the workplace. Finding productive ways to work across the generation gap is essential, and the organizations that do this well will have significant strategic advantages over those that don’t.
Millennials & Management: The Essential Guide to Making It Work at Work addresses a very real concern of large and small businesses nationwide: how to motivate, collaborate with, and manage the millennial generation—who now make up almost 50% of the American workforce. The key is to change our attitude from one of disbelief and derision to acceptance and respect without giving up our work standards. Using real-world examples, author Lee Caraher gives leaders data-driven steps to take to co-create a productive workplace for today and tomorrow.

Every age group brings its own distinct set of ethics and values into the workplace. But what happens when the entering generation's belief system clashes with that of previous generations? Caraher, a communications specialist, offers up a set of practices that can help the three disparate generations comprising the American workplace today namely boomers, gen-Xers, and millennials work together more harmoniously. She addresses a key issue here: the (apparently) fundamental difference in attitude between millennials and their elders. To that end, Caraher offers a primer to the "millennial mind-set." Along the way, she debunks some of the attributes commonly ascribed to this group, including entitlement, laziness, and lack of productivity. This manual places particular emphasis on the most effective ways of motivating millennial hires, but takes care to sample each generation's insights on important workplace issues, such as clarity, transparency, and hierarchy. Each chapter closes with a concise list of "dos and don'ts" for both managers and employees which serves as a useful and quick reference tool. Caraher's compilation of best practices will help organizations make the most of a cross-generational workforce and build a more productive and positive workplace.
