Synopsis

Millennials will be our next great generation of leaders. Today, however, as they move into management, they face difficult practical challenges. Millennials Who Manage is a complete, research-based guide to overcoming those challenges, delivering outstanding performance, and getting recognized for it.

 

Reflecting their extensive enterprise consulting and research experience, the authors show how to transition more smoothly into management. You will gain insight into earning the respect of peers and “elders” that you are now leading, as well as your manager. You will discover you can achieve success your way, without compromising who you are or becoming someone you are not.

 

You’ll learn management skills that arguably come naturally to Millennials. Prepare to explore what really motivates Boomers and Xers whose formative experiences were different from yours and how to guide them beyond today’s unhelpful stereotypes about Millennials. You’ll also master the specific management and leadership competencies you need most right now—whether you’re moving into frontline management or the CEO’s office!

About this title

From the Back Cover:

“The one thing all Millennial managers lack is experience. They must combat that by being extremely sharp in every other arena. Millennials Who Manage provides critical insight and perspective that allows leaders to get into the mindset of those they are leading. There is a plethora of great books on management and leadership; however, most of them do not speak directly to Millennials. This book provided me with much needed insight, and it is a tool that I will continue coming back to over and over again.”
–Rob Knutsen, CEO, J. Derek Lewis & Associates

 

THE PRACTICAL, STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR EVERY MILLENNIAL WHO’S MOVING INTO MANAGEMENT–OR MOVING UP!

 

Millennials are rapidly filling executive and management roles at all levels. If you’re one of them, you’re probably managing not just your peers, but also Boomers and Gen Xers who’ve been around forever. Now, Chip Espinoza and Joel Schwarzbart have brought together all the practical advice you need to succeed–and all the insights other executives and HR leaders need to help you succeed.

 

Millennials Who Manage is radically different from most books on Millennials in the workforce. First, it’s not a conversation about you: it’s a conversation with you. Second, it offers step-by-step, research-based guidance that works.

 

Drawing on their immense experience consulting on Millennials in management, the authors show how to be both authentic and successful...how to deliver outstanding performance, providing what older workers want and what your peersneed... how to get respect, get heard, and build powerful relationships... and how to get to the next level, and the level beyond that !
