These sticking points lead to misunderstanding, irritation, and stereotyping that hurts results and gets teams stuck.There's no need to remain stuck.In Sticking Points, Haydn Shaw uses humor and pointed examples to show you how to apply a five-step process to the twelve sticking points where the five generations tend to come apart. These sticking points revolve around differing attitudes toward work hours, loyalty, social media, respect, and feedback, among others. Sticking Points is a must-read book that will help you understand the generational differences you encounter while teaching all of us how we can learn to speak one another's language and get better results together.
