Multi-generational leadership

Leveraging the skills and talents of the multi-generational workforce is a leadership imperative in the 21st century. One of the greatest challenges for a leader is connecting multiple generations within the workforce and getting them to work together effectively. Packed with examples, tools, resources and wisdom to tackle with this job head on, Kelly and Robby Riggs’ Counter Mentor Leadership provides a valuable strategic guide for engaging today’s multi-generational workforce.

What most people have labeled simply as technology gaps or generational differences, Kelly and Robby have identified those rightly as communication and leadership challenges. The book serves as a reality check for anyone in leadership role. It gives actionable leadership strategies using humour and wit to keep the readers  engaged all through.

The book can be divided into four sections: Today’s workforce; Leadership is freaking hard; The counter-mentor leadership model;  and The counter mentor leadership solution. Each section makes the journey of unlocking the potential of four-generation workforce in an amazing way. Throughout the book, the authors create a raw, honest, back-and-forth perspective that is unique. The symbols of the classy stylish hat belonging to the perspective of the BOSS (Kelly, aka pops) and the fashion forward, socially conscious hat (baseball cap), belonging to the perspective of the KIDS (aka Robby), form another highlight of the book.

This book is perfect for anyone in a leadership role or wanting to be in one in the future. It moves beyond the management clichés and platitudes and gives practical advice on how to bridge the gap between the ‘Boomers’ and ‘Millennials’ in a workplace with the added advantage of it being  funny and brilliantly written. — Pragatti Oberoi
