While the convergence of the young, old, and technology is creating opportunity in the workpace, it is also generating clashpoints. Bridging generational gaps is like controlling traffic at a four-way stop sign. To avoid collisions, don'st drink the generational hater-ade. Everyone must learn to give-and-take from each generation to keep the productivity flowing, creating a more productive and hopefully collaborative environment, warns workforce management expert/author Ira S. Wolfe.
In Geeks, Geezers, and Googlization: How to Manage the Unprecedented Convergence of the Wired, the Tired, and Technology in the Workplace, a book just released through Xlibris, Wolfe
describes how each generation defines itself, the unintentional consequences of generational crowding, and how to turn this age and technology convergence into a strategic opportunity.
In the workplace, in particular, each generation - Gen Y, Gen X, Baby Boomers, and Veterans - is struggling to exert their influence and hold on to their world views, attitudes and more
so today - their positions, said Ira S. Wolfe, author. These attempts can have disruptive implications for associations and businesses, which simultaneously must develop new leaders
(geeks), challenge current leaders, and retain the wisdom and skills of longtime leaders (geezers).
Divided into three useful parts, Geeks, Geezers, and Googlization helps educate employers, managers, and employees about how to seize the opportunity and avoid an inevitable clash between
generations. Part one of this informative book provides readers the answer to the question, who are the generations The second part explores the implications of this workplace convergence
of youth, experience, and technology. The last part offers hope in the form of management solutions -tips and recommendations for recruiting, managing, and motivating a multi-generational
workforce.
Geeks, Geezers, and Googlization: How to Manage the Unprecedented Convergence of the Wired, the Tired, and Technology in the Workplace is an eye-opening book that helps bridge
communication gaps, as well as find shared beliefs and behaviors regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or generation. For more information on this book, log on to www.GeeksGeezersGooglization.com.
