Written in a highly accessible (and often witty) style, this
groundbreaking book addresses a number of generational issues. Deal
provides a description of each issue, a summary of the relevant
research results, a principle that can be applied to resolve (or at
least mitigate) the issue, and practical advice for applying the
principle in the workplace. Applying these principles will help
everyone to work with, work for, attract, manage, retain, and
develop leaders of all generations.
Thinking about cultural differences around the world isn't just an
intellectual exercise for managers working in an increasingly
global environment. Being able to communicate effectively across
cultural differences, understanding how to negotiate complex social
situations, and being familiar with the customs and norms of many
cultures are important skills in organizations today. Perhaps even
more important than possessing those essential pieces of cultural
knowledge is the skill of cultural adaptability--the willingness
and ability to recognize, understand, and work effectively across
cultural differences.
Proficiency in cultural adaptability helps contemporary managers to
build the relationships needed to achieve results in today's global
organizations, especially when those relationships are forged
across borders and cultures. It enables them to interact
effectively with people different from themselves, whether these
people work on the next floor or on the other side of the world.
Failure rate for senior executives is high; consider the frequent
stories in the press about yet another CEO who has been fired or
has resigned prematurely. Hypothesizing that the selection process
is inadequate, CCL researchers used the Peak Selection Simulation
to ask 621 decision-makers specific questions about how they use
interviews, HR information, and search firm reports to select
top-level candidates. This report, containing thirty figures and
tables and a comprehensive reference list, documents this research
and provides useful insights that can lead to better selection
outcomes.
