Workforce 2020 : Work and Workers in the 21st Century
$16.95
Book was printed in 1995 and is very outdated and is past due for an update. I bought this book because it was required for a class. Even my professor thinks it is way outdated.

If you're not required to purchase this book I would say you could make better use of your money.

The Differentiated Workforce: Transforming Talent into Strategic Impact
$35.00
The Differentiated Workforce is an awesome addition to the Strategy collection focused on Human Resources. You would expect HR Professors to start by saying that people are most valuable - which they are, but here Dick Beatty et all start with Strategy and advices the reader to put Strategy, not people, First!
By asking you to start with Strategy and then look at strategic capabilities needed to execute on the business strategy the authors have framed the right question to answer rather than chasing a people solution without knowing, what we are trying to solve for!

A must read for every Business Leader who believes in maximizing Human Capital to deliver business outcomes.

This is the most enlightening book I have read in years! As a Baby Boomer, I have been struggling with trying to understand the younger folks I have working for me. Even some of my younger managers leave me scratching my head wondering if everyone has gone insane! Now I get it. It's not me,is the great generational divide and this book has brought me much clarity and understanding. We, the Boomers, are still in charge, and until I am ready to retire, the knowledge in this book will help me to keep my sanity.
