Are you a status quo leader? Or do you continuously adapt your leadership skills? Today’s business reality requires that all leaders be flexible, adaptable and focused on continuously improving their leadership skills. The status quo is not acceptable, you must upgrade now! This innovative book offers tools and techniques for you to become more effective in leading and engaging your teams, by focusing on 9 advanced leadership skills. The more effective you are, the more productive your team will be. Leadership skills, like every other skill, require constant upgrading because team dynamics, operational realities and business strategies change.
n-gen People Performance Inc. capitalizes on years of client experience – working with hundreds of organizations, and training over 50,000 employees and managers – to bring you a practical guide on how to advance your leadership skills. Upgrade Now is specific and practical in nature; you can quickly identify the skill you need to upgrade, and begin implementing new techniques right away. Our extensive research of what employees want, and how to overcome the challenges that leaders face, has shaped and enriched the information, tools, and techniques provided. Moreover, by applying a generational perspective to each of the nine advanced leadership skills, we truly give leaders the ability to upgrade what they do, and how they do it. It isn’t an upgrade unless leaders have a concrete understanding of how to adapt their leadership practices to meet the differing values and expectations of a multigenerational workforce.
Each chapter of Upgrade Now is structured to provide leaders with the information required to: learn each advanced skill; apply each skill (with helpful tips on how to do so); upgrade their leadership approach (by layering on a generational perspective); and execute their plans (using the comprehensive tools provided).
The book is filled with client examples from leading organizations such as Chevron, Wal-Mart, Starwood and Xerox. Upgrade Now is a must read for leaders who are interested in upgrading their leadership skills, driving team performance and engaging a multigenerational workforce.

Loyalty is dead, or is it? In Loyalty Unplugged: How to Get, Keep & Grow All Four Generations, Giselle Kovary and Adwoa K. Buahene definitively answer this question. We reframe the concept of loyalty against the design and execution of people strategies. We suggest that the goal of people leaders should be to create employee engagement not loyalty. The four generations in the workplace – Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, Gen X and Gen Y – demonstrate different workplace behaviours because of their unique identities. Leaders must maximize those behaviours while managing the generational differences in the workplace to create an engaged workforce.
Loyalty Unplugged clarifies how to get, keep, and grow your human capital by responding to the identities of different generations in the workplace. The book outlines what your organization must do to build an engaged workforce. It shows leaders how to demonstrate the characteristics of organizational engagement.
This book from n-gen is based on more than three years of research and client work. It is a comprehensive reference guide for all leaders responsible for getting, keeping, and growing high-performance employees. It tackles the why, what, and how to, within recruitment, orientation, total rewards programs, employee brand promises, career- pathing, learning and development, mentoring, performance management, succession planning and management practices.
