Great book on leadership

As a fairly new director (2.5 years) and the last of the Gen X, I found this book particularly useful in helping me understand the differences between different generations. Very useful to manage up, down and across. Highly recommended for newly promoted managers

Love the book, an I'm not a milenial.

Insightfull. You can begin to understand how generational differences affect work relationships, how you can enhance your managerial style by leveraging differences in upbringign, which at the begining I thought as of shortcomings.

Same stuff, repackaged

I suppose if this is the first book you've ever read on management, it would be terrific! All in all, it takes what has been around for years and just repackages it with the intended audience being a millennial manager. For that, I suppose it hits the mark. In general, overly simplistic approach to all things management.

A few useful tips

At the beginning I was close to quit listening because I had the feeling this book was a collection of vast generational stereotypes.
It gets a little better by the time they pass the introduction, but most of the points are not new:
Communication, ownership, proactivity, delegation, feedback.

Nevertheless if you're looking for some practical advice about management, this book may appeal to you.

More then I expected!

As an Enterprise Coach and Trainer this book provided countless practical stories, examples and quotes that will help me in my practice. I learned that I have turned into my parents :) and this book has helped me understand and better appreciate my kids and the millennials I work with at a deeper level. This book provides practical tips and techniques to bridge the gaps to help produce high performing teams. A must read for managers and coaches!
