The New Rules of Work

My purpose in reading this book was to gain insight into the employment behaviors of Millennials: where do they look for jobs, why do they choose one position over another, what do they expect from the employee/employer relationship. What I found is that the The New Rules of Work are aspirational at this time. The authors are attempting to lead the change or set the trend for how the freelance/start-up generation views and governs their careers.

Written primarily for entry-level employees – for example, the advice includes “treat your speech like you’d treat a term paper” – TNRW is a one-stop source of information that might not be available elsewhere in a single volume. The advice makes sense and may catch on. Entrepreneurs should read this book for help with youthful hires.  However, experienced hires still follow The Old Rules of Work. So don’t abandoned the tired and true just yet.
