Difficult for me to review this book as I was drawn to due to my role being HR, however, the whole premise of the book being that the baby boomer workforce is being pushed out and wrongly so, however, I haven’t seen or experienced this and that maybe the nature of companies I have worked for tending to be health and public sector.
I am sure this would be insightful if you think this book has a point.

I was compelled to read this book because I am at a point in my life where my values are shifting in terms of what's best for me at work and what's not. The authors provide an in-depth look at work, in terms of not only people but also of other factors that influence work like trends, economies, market needs and even technology.
What intrigued me even more is that the five issues shared herein that affect work are things I relate to and also form the struggles that most organizations in my country are concerned about.

I also loved the recommendations the authors gave in solving these issues and one in particular that helps deal with longevity at work is that it'd be best to have people in various stages of their life working together and I found this quite interesting. In my country, Kenya, most of the elderly people are phased out by young people because of technology and the ability to handle most IT related tasks that help boost productivity, but in a sector like the government or in parastatals this is the complete opposite. I am glad that I read this book it was not only informative for me, but it also shed light on work, talent, growth and the changing face of it all. I quite enjoyed read this.

Thank you Netgalley for the eARC.
