In today’s protean business landscape, diversity of thought is a powerful tool for tackling the obstacles that boards must face. This ‘definitive playbook’ shows how NEDs can take advantage of intergenerational collaboration to foster innovative, productive work.
“Five Generations at Work is a masterclass in management” ~ Jonah Berger - Wharton Professor and Bestselling Author of Contagious and The Catalyst.
“A must-read for every leader who seeks to reap the benefits - both institutionally and interpersonally - of generational diversity in their workforce.” ~ Lauren von Stackelberg - Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer and Global Head of Wellbeing for The LEGO Group.
For the first time in history, we have up to five generations at work. To overcome challenges like climate change, geopolitical turmoil, and technological disruption, organisations will need to draw on the strengths of every group.
Through debunking ageist stereotypes and maximising the dynamics of this generational diversity, we can create more collaborative, competitive, and strategic organisations. Five Generations at Work is a masterclass on the respect, inclusion, and innovative leadership needed to do just that.
Unpacking six years of research, the book explores case studies across four continents, multiple industries, and written in conversation across each generation, looking at organisations and individuals who are taking progressive action to lead with intergenerational collaboration in mind.
Exclusive insights into major companies offer widespread perspectives, including: Ahlström, The EY Foundation, The Financial Times, Hoffmann-La Roche, Imaginable Futures, LVMH, Liberty Global, MARS, Mission 44, The Oxford Character Project, St Gallen Symposium, The UNDP and Samsung, and more.
The perceptive guidance on the necessary mindset and skills needed to deliver shared value and sustainable impact in business makes this a must-read recommendation from the NEDA book club.
