Synopsis

This book is the result of over three decades of combined experience from Kelly and Robby Riggs—dynamic, occasionally irreverent, always insightful, father (Boomer) and son (Millennial), who work with organizations grappling daily with multi-generational conflict. Through their collaboration, Kelly and Robby share their very different perspectives on the same problems most companies are still dealing with, but haven't had the courage or the tools, to address. Issues such as: a shocking lack of leadership skills; the culture-killing generational divide that is demolishing many companies; and the stunning, often unrecognized impact of technology on the workplace.

In their "shamelessly funny, brilliantly written" debut book, Kelly and Robby discuss today's workplace dynamics, including the changes in communication modes, the influx of technology, and the impact of Millennials and Digital Natives; explain how a one-sided approach to leadership focused on "managing" Millennials is grossly insufficient; explore the new challenges of leadership inherent with the explosion of technology-time compression, distractions, complexity, and the pace of change; detail the CounterMentor leadership model and prescribe specific tactics and techniques for addressing both old and new leadership issues; and more.

Be warned. This book can be off putting with its stereotypes and tone of arrogance but the fundamental lessons are very clear - just know what to sift out. It would suit small or medium sized business leaders or people who are just starting out their journey in leadership. Those from larger organisat......more

Goodreads review by David on January 24, 2025

One of the finest books on leadership I have ever read. Although it takes the approach of elders needing to learn from younger workers, its principles of planning, personnel management, and personal character building are applicable in all settings.......more

This book is for you if you have only ever been a manager in a big corporation that does things “the way it’s always been done”. Or if you have never led people but want to become a leader one day as this book offers some useful advice. I must say I didn’t find it particularly useful as most of the......more
