Thank you to Deridre Pickerell of Life Strategies Limited for her thoughtful post of Dancing With Digital Natives on their Career Engagement blog. From the review:
Dancing with Digital Natives is a new, and interesting, book edited by Michelle Manafy and Heidi Gautschi. It is a must-read for anyone interested in generations in the workplace, especially Gen Y, and how this generation, and their exposure to technology, is changing the way business does business.
