Synopsis

This is the first time in American history that we have had four different generations working side-by-side in the workplace: the Traditionalists (born before 1945), the Baby Boomers (born 1945-1964), Gen X (born 1965-1980), and the Millennials (born 1981-2001).Haydn Shaw, popular business speaker and generational expert, has identified 12 places where the 4 generations typically come apart in the workplace (and in life as well). These sticking points revolve around differing attitudes toward managing one’s own time, texting, social media, organizational structure, and of course, clothing preferences. If we don’t learn to work together and stick together around these 12 sticking points, then we’ll be wasting a lot of time fighting each other instead of enjoying a friendly and productive team. Sticking Points is a must-read book that will help you understand the generational differences you encounter while teaching how we can learn to speak one another’s language and get better results together.

Goodreads review by Sara on February 06, 2018

I read this for my work as a director of lifespan religious education for a church. While the introduction and first few chapters of the book stated several times that the generational issues in the book would be applicable in non-profit and family settings, in reality the rest of the book almost ex......more

Goodreads review by Smh624 on December 04, 2017

I read this book for my work. The overall concepts presented are very useful so the book is worth skimming for that reason alone. I found actual analysis to be too generalized and the generations are not defined and characterized consistent with my experience. It also is odd to me at this point that......more

Goodreads review by Heather on December 14, 2018

A good read that discusses the melding of generations within the workplace. Shaw discusses a five step process to apply to the twelve ‘sticking points’ that generally tear generations apart. For the first time in history, there are four generations in the workplace at the same time: Traditionalists......more
