Reviews
"This is a very important book, one that sheds a light on an extremely significant management issue that every organization in the Western world has to face: continued engagement of older workers. As the CEO of a knowledge based business, one where experience is vital for the ongoing benefit of customers and the organization's competitive advantage, maintaining and extending the organization's capabilities is a significant challenge that demands more creative thinking and solutions. The Talent Revolution provides great insights and a path forward.
Ali Velshi, Senior Economic and Business Correspondent, NBC News, and Co-anchor, Velshi & Ruhle, MSNBC:
"This book turns thinking about the aging workforce on its head. It’s a must-read to tap the potential productivity of a truly intergenerational workforce, and to make companies more profitable."
Benjamin Nadler, Chief Operating Officer at Sensei Labs:
The Talent Revolution: Longevity and the Future of Work persuasively makes the case for a transformation in the way companies think about age and work. Taylor and Lebo offer a ground-breaking perspective on the intergenerational workforce and practical advice that will be invaluable to any organization seeking to understand and profit from its older workers.
