Writer wanted for management book

[AmyBA]

I seek a businessman/woman author to write:

Managing Generation Me
How to Get Great Performance From Your Twenty-Something Employees for a trade book publishing house.

Brief description:
Generation Y, the 70 million people born between 1977 and 2002, represents a unique challenge to managers, as they enter a workforce that includes both Boomers and Gen Xers. Gen Ys, among other things:

• Work their work schedules to accommodate their personal lives
• Crave constant reinforcement and feedback from supervisors
• Are far more tech-savvy than previous generations
• Expect to make an impact on their workplace from Day One
• Are masters of multitasking, and don’t want to be tied down to an office environment
• Expect to remain in one job for only about three years (if that) before moving on

The book is to be written for mid-level managers and HR managers, will offer practical suggestions for how to minimize and overcome conflicts between different generations of workers and how to adapt workplace practices to the needs of Gen Y workers so as to gain the benefits of their skills, energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm. It will also make it more possible for businesses to retain these workers for a longer period, ensuring greater continuity in the workplace and therefore greater cost savings.

The author should have hands on experience managing “Generation Me” employees.
