Summary:
"Millennials are often stereotyped: they are 'entitled', seek promotions prematurely, and require constant praise. They see themselves, however, buried in historically high student debt and thwarted by an outdated workplace structure. This ground-breaking book is an indispensable resource to help millennials, gen Xers and baby boomers create a more effective work environment. ... The book separates myths from reality, and provides practical advice, based on detailed research, to strengthen intergenerational teams and develop the next generation of talented leadership"--Book jacket.
