Publisher's Summary:

For the first time in history, the American workforce is comprised of four distinct generations: traditionalists, boomers, Xers, and millennials. Additionally, today's workforce brings with it a new set of challenges and opportunities: the looming labor shortage, sagging productivity, knowledge transfer, the language barrier, and stereotypes. Understanding generational issues is one of the best new tools for resolving conflicts and boosting productivity.

Ties to Tattoos provides keys for understanding these issues and strategies to leverage multigenerational differences in ways that make companies stronger. The creative people strategies described throughout the audiobook set the bar for a competitive advantage: engaged and committed employees.

Nothing new...

This book may be useful to people who have never explored generational differences, and are just looking to get a taste of the topic.

It commented on many easily observable differences and motivators of the different generations. This book felt very repetitive and I felt that I read the same content over and over. I appreciated the examples of what real tactics companies are using to attract an retain employees, but they were skimmed over very lightly (1-2 sentences). Neither the desires of the employees or the examples used to illustrate innovative retention techniques were explored in sufficient depth to be useful.

As an older millenial/generation Y, I felt that my generation (more than the others in the book) was mis-represented on several occasions and that the author wasn't truly in touch with my generation. As an example, there is a chart listing Generational Values that includes "heroes" - celebrities that are admired. The examples given do not reflect the "heroes" of the millenials I know. The suggestions given for millenials focused on technology and paid insufficient attention to other areas of importance.

Five Stars

This book is one of the most insightful reads that delineate misunderstandings between generations. Thank you Sherri.

Good Read

Great books - good ideas!

I Highly Recommend It!

This is a great book for anyone interested in better understanding the different generations. It was incredibly insightful, and it gave me a whole new perspective. I've already started leveraging what I've learned with clients, associates and even in my business development efforts.

Sherri's descriptions are very thorough and easy to understand, and I thought she did a great job of presenting the information. It's a must-read for anyone who really wants to understand what makes the different generations "tick."
