Book Review - Next Generation Leadership

Generation Y sees the world differently than any other generation in modern memory, and nowhere is this more evident than in the workplace. The shifts that this generation has seen in the economy, technology and the world have changed what they want from life and work which is not a 9-5 existence for forty plus years, leading to a typical retirement at sixty five.

A demand for work life balance isn't a cry for fewer work hours - it's a cry to be able to work from outside the office beyond a rigid 9-5 schedule. Leaving a job after a couple years isn't an inability to commit - it's a need to learn more, expand their experience, and develop their career at a faster pace. Elevating non traditional benefits over financial benefits is a step toward creating an emotional connection to the company where employees spend most of their time and invest mental and emotional efforts.

The need to work for a company with a purpose reflects the power that social media has on the social consciousness.

Next Generation Leadership will explore what's behind these shifts in the character of the emerging workforce. It shows that, as Gen Y assumes managerial positions, the nature of leadership and business will change over the next few decades in irrevocable and profound ways.

This book is ideal for business leaders, Directors, human resource experts, and business strategists. It is a beneficial read for leaders who would like to know more about engaging more Next Generation leaders in their organisations.
