“Being an ‘old school’ Boomer, this book gave me a much-needed framework to understand AND work with the ‘new school’ Millennials. As they advance into our universities and workforce, how successfully the generations interact surprisingly depends on the mind-set of us old-schoolers. By embracing the generations' differences and positively, proactively, and confidently engaging Millennials, managers can build strong, effective organizations, and business schools can provide Millennials with richer and more valuable educational opportunities.”

This new edition of Managing the Millennials continues to help managers meet their Millennials where they are at and develop them into the leaders of tomorrow.”
