Is your organization ready for what is coming? Between the decline of modern management, the social media shift of power toward individuals, and the ascent of the Millennial generation into leadership roles, companies of all shapes and sizes are facing a future that they are ill-equipped to handle. As a result of this perfect storm of changes, many organizations are struggling to stay relevant to customers, capitalize on opportunities in the marketplace, and attract top talent.

Successful companies, on the other hand, are shifting to embrace four key capacities that will drive the future of business: digital, clear, fluid, and fast. Drawing on both cutting-edge case studies and research on Millennials in the workplace, you ll learn how to successfully apply these four capacities in your context to drive real business results, like more engaged employees, higher-value customers, greater strategic agility, and stronger, magnetic cultures. When Millennials Take Over delivers concrete, actionable advice you can use to set your company apart as a leader--rather than a follower.

The only constant is change. These four capacities are the key to being able to keep up with the complexity, uncertainty and rapid shifts in our industries and our world. When Millennials Take Over is an intelligently practical guide to how you can build these capacities for your organization - starting NOW.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Notter and Grant make a compelling case for why Millennials act as a secret decoder ring to help us understand what drives customers and employees in today's business climate. By adopting the four capacities - digital, clear, fluid and fast - you'll be much better prepared to attract top talent, retain customers and stay competitive. --Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell is Human

The old ways of managing simply don't work for today's employees. Notter and Grant share insightful ways to help both leaders and employees understand how to work better together by focusing on results over process. When Millennials Take Over is a powerful guidebook that needs to be in the hands of every manager to effectively start unlocking the true potential in every person. --Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson, authors of Why Managing Sucks and How to Fix It

When Millennials Take Over reveals what Generation Y can teach us all about creating organizations with stronger cultures and expanded influence in the market. Whatever you think of Millennials, they ve arrived during a tectonic shift in management. Through case studies, real-world research, and client examples, this book highlights how to harness their energy and insights. --Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take

A Must Read!

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2015

As a Masters degree candidate in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, this was a refreshing read. Not only was it a quick read that was easy to understand, but it also included relevant research and pertinent case studies. While I was researching the field to decide whether or not it was something to which I wanted to dedicate my professional life, I had trouble finding a book that put into laymen terms exactly what the field consisted of, and it's real-world implications. Instead I had to comb through textbooks and research papers. This is finally the book I was looking for.

As a millennial, I am already seeing much of what is described in this book creeping up in the corporate world. It seems to me to be incredibly important for leaders in all types of organizations to understand the ideas presented in this book, or risk being left in the dust by the next startup company that can build an organization with these principles in mind. Furthermore, this book is a must-read for those in my generation who are miserable in their roles and believe that working for a culturally inept organization is "just the way the corporate world works". This book brings hope to the hopeless and validation for those of us who believe that the future of business can be enjoyable, empowering, and "Ridiculously Optimistic". Highly recommended!

Tough on the old Management Style

This book is very good however it will be confusing for most mangers. The Mangers will not like this kind of change. TheManager is definitely going to feel like he lost control to a person he will not feel comfortable with. If the Manager has any kind of apprehension with younger people, the Manager will have a problem and frustrate the younger person.
This is a good back that all managers should read because these same mangers will have to hire these changing younger people.
A good read

An extraordinary book with a profound message

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2015

Verified Purchase

Like their other book, Humanize, this new book by Jamie Notter and Maddie Grant is extraordinary: provocative, profound, lucid, well-documented and eminently applicable.

This is not the usual book about how to attract or increase millennials among your staff and customers. Instead it is a view of the world through the eyes of the millennials; a fresh analysis of the market, management and leadership and what it takes to thrive in it. Why focus on millennials? It is not that the Millennials are different from other generations or admirable and worthy of our focus. It is not because they represent a new market to attract. Instead, it is because they illustrate the nature of the fundamental shift between two eras that is taking place right now. “Remember,” the authors remind us,” the Millennials are not telling us how to do things, but they are shining a light on the capacities that will drive this revolution in leadership and management.” They “become the generation that will finally push the decline of the machine approach to management over the end.” This requires organizations to develop new capacities rather than come up with marketing tricks and strategies for appealing to millennials.

Two remarkable attributes differentiate this book from other books on business theory or millennial marketing.

First the authors truly unveil for us a view of the world we live in from the perspective of the millennial customer, uncovering subtle but crucial shifts in definitions of leadership, sources of value, measures of success, etc.

Secondly, instead of tactical “how to’s” or abstract predictions of the future, they build a new, more fundamental and sustainable basis of success: a re-alignment of your organization with the world which millennials are shaping by building 4 core capabilities rather than marketing tools.

The authors have an impressive command of the history of management, and the intricate dynamics of social, cultural and technological forces re-shaping our environment. Their conclusions are backed by sound research which, refreshingly enough, includes a wide variety of both business and non-profit organizations examined through the millennial lens. The new sources of value and needs of capacity-building are not restricted to one sector. Neither is it linked to the specific products, size, geography or structure of any one type of organization though the specifics may differ. And last but not least, the authors delve into the complexities of social and economic change and the challenges of building organizations for a new era, with clear, focused, compelling and crisp prose that gets to the substance without jargon or obscure theories.

A business book that gets real

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

I was a big fan of Jamie and Maddie's first book, Humanize, and I think their new book is a great next step. They do a good job of briefly explaining why the Millennial generation is going to play a big role in the management changes that are happening, and then most of the book is focused on what these changes are actually going to look like. I love the case studies for each of the main chapters. You get to see how organizations are applying these ideas already. This is a "must read."

‘When Millennials Take Over’ is another book written by Jamie Notter and Maddie Grant that both makes you think and provides a roadmap for the trends they’ve identified. Their Digital. Clear. Fluid. Fast. formula is one that organizations need to examine and embrace for the change their research says is coming. Like they did in their previous book, ‘humanize,’ - which I also recommend - they provide great examples from research and clear roadmaps to consider.

Millennials are getting a great deal of attention in recent news and research. This book is should be on your reading list.

If you have seen or read the news then the Millennials and what may come with the emergence of that generation is not a surprise. What it surprising is how their coming of age is impacting how organizations operate...from the front lines with customers to behind the scenes and inside the office. Notter and Grant do a fantastic job of distilling the main trends which accompany the rise of the Millennials. Their observations are backed by real life examples of various organizations and each chapter comes with takeaways that are quite valuable. This book should be on your list!
