The Multigenerational Workplace de Jennifer Abrams

The Multigenerational Workplace

Autor Jennifer Abrams, Valerie von Frank
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2013

Considerăm că The Multigenerational Workplace aduce o perspectivă proaspătă în literatura de specialitate prin mutarea focusului de la simpla înțelegere teoretică a generațiilor către aplicabilitatea lor imediată în ecosistemul educațional. Bazându-se pe experiența de facilitator a autoarei Jennifer Abrams, lucrarea transformă dinamica dintre generații dintr-o sursă de tensiune într-un avantaj strategic pentru școli. Spre deosebire de alte volume care tratează sociologia generațiilor la modul general, această ediție se concentrează pe mecanismele specifice școlii: de la modul în care comunicăm în cancelarie, până la eticheta profesională și planificarea succesiunii la nivel de management.

Structura cărții este pragmatică și progresivă. Primele capitole definesc trăsăturile generaționale, însă greutatea volumului rezidă în secțiunile aplicate. Găsim în capitolele 5 și 6 strategii concrete pentru diferențierea învățării profesionale, recunoscând că un profesor din generația Baby Boomer și unul din Generația Z pot avea nevoi de mentorat radical diferite. The Multigenerational Workplace completează perspectiva oferită de Generations at School, adăugând o dimensiune practică prin liste de verificare și studii de caz care permit liderilor școlari să implementeze imediat schimbări în cultura organizațională.

Apreciem în mod deosebit capitolul despre „School Savvy Etiquette”, care abordează direct micile neînțelegeri cotidiene ce pot degrada climatul de lucru. Tonul este unul onest și echilibrat, evitând stereotipurile rigide și propunând în schimb un model de colaborare bazat pe curiozitate reciprocă. Este o resursă esențială pentru directorii de școli și responsabilii cu formarea cadrelor didactice care navighează provocările unei forțe de muncă diversificate.

Descriere scurtă

Collaboration between professionals of all generations is an essential factor in school success. What do Boomers need from younger generations? What do GenXers and Millennials have to offer Boomers? Each generation wants to contribute and to feel empowered. The youngest generation wants an equal voice; Boomers want to leave a legacy; GenXers want to make a difference. This book, based on a very popular workshop that Abrams has presented across the U.S. and Canada, will address how all educators can look through a generational filter to be more effective communicators, teachers and administrators; to help retain those who may be more easily frustrated at their lack of immediate success; and to plan for succession by future generations of leaders.
Concrete tools are key elements of the book, helping readers to define the generations and their needs, to identify themselves on the continuum, and to plan ways to bridge generational differences.

Recenzii

"Few people today are taking on this topic, particularly in the U.S. One of the greatest leadership challenges of this age is how to work across generations. Newer generations are not flawed versions of previous generations—each has its own compelling perspective to contribute. This is the best book to add to an issue that affects all educators and will open up many people's thinking about leadership." 
"Readers of The Multigenerational Workplace will be inspired to reflect and respond to the complexities of their workplace and motivate diverse generations for today and into the future. In addition, collaborative teams will find this book useful in enhancing their ability to communicate across generations."
“A massive exodus of Baby Boomers combined with a huge influx of Millennials has created a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reinvent the teaching profession for today’s world.  To make this possibility a reality, we will have to abandon 20th-century human capital solutions that have become 21st-century problems.  We will have to rethink the teaching career from recruitment through retirement. In The Multigenerational Workplace, Jennifer Abrams and Valerie von Frank give school leaders the data, strategies, and tools they need to successfully navigate this transition.”
"This book will quickly become an essential on every leader’s bookshelf, offering a framework that is helpful to all of us who lead multigenerational organizations along with practical tools and activities to assist in planning and facilitation. Being on the cusp of Gen X and Gen Y and a leader of a team of teachers that includes Baby Boomers through Millennials, this book will be an essential resource for me."

Descriere

Bridge the generation gap and achieve outstanding results! You might expect the occasional age-related misunderstanding to find its way into the classroom--after all, if today's kids aren't exactly from another planet, they're definitely from another generation. At least you and your colleagues are all on the same page...right? Not necessarily. In some schools, as many as four generations work side by side, and that means countless chances for crossed wires, miscommunication, and perhaps even mistrust. Authors Jennifer Abrams and Valerie von Frank are attuned to these generational differences. In this book, based on Abrams' popular workshop, the authors demonstrate how educators can look past their own generational filters to reap the benefits of seeing through a new lens. Focusing on the major contexts in which generational differences play out--including recruitment, coaching, professional learning, and succession planning--this book offers Tools, checklists, and recommendations for collaborating, evaluating, and engaging in professional learning that meets multigenerational needs Professional development activities that cultivate an understanding of generational differences and strengthen workplace culture Real-life stories and case studies that bring the topic to life With this honest, practical, and often amusing look at generations at work, you'll learn to improve communication, retain staff, and look toward succession--a multigenerational plan for school success. "Few people today are taking on this topic, particularly in the U.S. One of the greatest leadership challenges of this age is how to work across generations. Newer generations are not flawed versions of previous generations--each has its own compelling perspective to contribute. This is the best book to add to an issue that affects all educators and will open up many people's thinking about leadership." -- Andy Hargreaves, Thomas More Brennan Chair Lynch School of Education Boston College, MA
