Highly readable account focusing on "clashpoints" between generations in a work situation. The four generations are "traditionalists" (born before 1945), boomers (born 1946-1964) Gen X (born 1965-1980) and millenials (born 1981-1999). The paperback version has a readers guide. I requested this after hearing Lynn give an outstanding presentation on campus.
