DALLAS, Dec. 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- George, Brad, Brianna, and Nate are connected by their jobs; the four of them make up the IT department at Handover Corporation. They also represent four distinct generations: The Silent Generation, Boomers, GenXers, and Millenials . They all have their own specialties, and when the day is done they go their separate ways--that is, until the company sends them on a white-water rafting trip to encourage team building. Surviving the rapids, they return to work to discover that their CEO is stepping down, sending the company into a tumultuous transition. They rely on the skills they just learned in order to survive and remain in the boat together.
This scenario serves as the plot of a unique new book, We're in This Boat Together: Leadership Succession Between the Generations, by Camille Bishop, Ph.D. A career educator with thirty years of international teaching experience, Dr. Bishop knows exactly why the average business book fails to resonate with readers. "So many business books are full of great information, but they're boring," she comments. "I wanted to write something that was interesting and would grab people's attention, but would also present good information." The result is a business book that is as engaging as it is informative.
The transfer of power within an organization is rarely easy; however, in light of the looming economic crisis, more American companies have been forced to make difficult decisions regarding personnel. The face of leadership is changing in companies across America, and the stakes have never been higher. In light of these events, this book could not have been better timed.
In a crowded business genre, this book is truly a standout from the rest, both in content and delivery. We're in This Boat Together draws on three solid years of research and on Dr. Bishop's own perspective as a Boomer who is constantly interacting with members of the other three generations.
This book was written to help leaders of all types of organizations--nonprofit agencies, small businesses, large corporations, law firms, clinics, schools, or churches--and those who teach about organizational development in a university setting. The principles in this book are relevant to any reader who can benefit from a greater understanding of others and a framework for dealing with change.
