Business & Professional Book Club: "The Remix"

The Business and Professional Book Club, a partnership between Cowley County Economic Development and Winfield Public Library, will explore the complexities of a multigenerational workplace with their fall book selection, The Remix by Lindsey Pollack.

The group will meet at the Winfield Chamber of Commerce from noon to 1:00pm on September 25, October 9, October 23, and November 6. Lunch will be provided by Cowley County Economic Development and copies of The Remix will be made available at the first session. 

A globally recognized career and workplace expert, The Remix author Lindsey Pollack is a leading voice on the multigenerational workplace. In a business context, she defines “remix” as a positive approach to organizational change that takes the best of each generation’s ideas and practices to design a brighter future of work.  From the publisher:

Millennials have become the largest generation in the U.S. Workforce, and Generation Z workers are right behind them. Leaders and organizations must embrace the new ways of working that appeal to the digital-first generations, while continuing to appeal to Baby Boomers and Generation X, who will likely remain in the workforce for decades to come.

Within any organization, team, meeting, or marketing opportunity, you will likely find any combination of generations, each with their own attitudes, expectations, and professional styles. To lead and succeed in business today, you must adjust to how Millennials work, continue to accommodate experienced colleagues and pay attention to the next generations coming up. The Remix shows you how to adapt and win through proven strategies that serve all generations’ needs. The result is a workplace that blends the best of each generation’s ideas and practices to design a smarter, more inclusive work environment for everyone.
