{"product_id":"working-across-generations-isbn-9780470195482","title":"Working Across Generations","description":"The authors provide a range of ideas on how to approach generational shifts in leadership so that the contributions of long-time leaders are valued, new and younger leaders' talent is recognized, and groups are better prepared to work across generational divides. Giving context to these differences, they explore the current assumptions about the upcoming transition between generations in the social sector; introduce new ideas or frames for thinking about generational leadership change; and examine how this change poses individual, organizational, and systemic challenges for those in the social sector. In addition, they provide numerous examples and practical exercises to show how to address these issues. The book concludes with critical advice on how to communicate across generations and key recommendations for future research and action. \u003cp\u003eForeword ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: Generations of Leaders 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Which Crisis? 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Meet the Generations 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Roles and Values: Laying the Groundwork 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two: Shifts Happen: Moving Forward 75\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The Boomers Are Leaving? 77\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Solving the Crisis: A New Generation of Leaders 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Leading Across Generations 147\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelected Resources 177\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 186\u003c\/p\u003e Recipient of the 2008 Axiom Business Book Awards Gold Medal in Philanthropy\/Charity\/Nonprofit \t \u003cp\u003eTHE AUTHORS \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFRANCES KUNREUTHER\u003c\/b\u003e is the director and founder of the Building Movement Project, which works to strengthen the role of U.S. nonprofit organizations as sites for social change and focuses in part on generational change in leadership. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHELEN KIM\u003c\/b\u003e is a consultant with experience in community organizing, fundraising, and organizational development and specializes in strategic planning, board development, executive coaching, and leadership transition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eROBBY RODRIGUEZ\u003c\/b\u003e is the executive director of SouthWest Organizing Project (SWOP), a statewide multi-racial, multi-issue, community-based membership organization in New Mexico.   \u003cb\u003eWorking Across Generations\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeadership change is happening today in organizations all across the United States.
