November Book of the Month: Generationally Speaking
November's Book is all about communication: Generationally Speaking
This must-read book offers a unique road map to better communication across the age gap. For the first time in human history, we've got eight generations coexisting on the planet, with it being quite common to find four generations working side-by-side in modern offices and workspaces. This presents brilliant opportunities but comes with a fair few challenges. While our lives and work environments are becoming increasingly multigenerational, the gulf between age groups often seems wider than ever. This is precisely why this month's top choice, Generationally Speaking: How to bridge the generation gap and communicate with confidence, steps up as an essential guide
Quick insight into this must-read title
We've all heard the tired, surface-level stereotypes: Boomers are resistant to change, Millennials are entitled, and Gen Z lives entirely online. These labels can often fuel miscommunication and division, failing to reflect the complex realities of each generation.
Generationally Speaking explores the notion that these assumptions are often inaccurate and counterproductive. If we start with a genuine desire for understanding, we can dissolve any disconnect. The book offers a fascinating, much-needed perspective that helps readers appreciate the unique strengths each generation brings to our communities and workplaces.This incredible title takes the reader on a journey to know each generation truly, provides relevant cultural touchpoints, keen observations, and insights into what motivates them. Crucially, the book couples understanding with original research to make sense of how generations communicate differently and suggests practical, actionable strategies for navigating a multigenerational workforce and society.
