Publisher Description
This guide to rewriting the rules of management is perfect for millennials looking to achieve career and professional success.
Millennials have begun moving into management positions everywhere and are shaking up the workplace as they go. The generation that was raised in an age of instant communication, and questioning authority has begun tearing down the corporate ladder, communicating on the fly, and bringing play to work. Even with all the exciting potential that lies ahead for these creative, bold thinkers, it will be pointless if they cannot effectively bridge the gap between the hierarchical management style of senior executives and the casual, collaborative approach of their peers.
Manager 3.0 is the first management guide written exclusively for the Millennial generation, where you will learn how to master crucial skills such as:
dealing with difficult people,delivering constructive feedback,and making tough decisions
You will also gain insight into the four generations currently in the workplace and how they can successfully bring out the best in each.
Packed with company interviews and corporate examples, Manager 3.0 will help these promising new managers connect with and encourage the unique talents of the generations around them, while also developing an effective leadership style of their own.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The sluggish early portion of this book by Karsh and Templin of JB Training Solutions provides a perhaps unnecessary overview of Millennials ("You have led a very sheltered life thanks to your helicopter parents.") and compares this generation to others. Further in, the book addresses important managerial topics, providing both an outline of the issues, and strategies for success: "The sticky part about owning' your role is that you will find that there isn't always a right answer' As a manager, you will fail here and there. Own it, learn from it, and move ahead." Even the most basic questions are discussed: for example, whether you should tell someone that they have spinach in their teeth. Negotiating gets significant attention here, with explanations of the nature of negotiations ("Negotiation is a dialogue a conversation") as well as discussions of biases involved ("Assumptions are one of the biggest barriers to listening"). As long as readers can get past the slow start, useful information and advice awaits, both for Millennials and for managers in general.
