""Ambitious and revelatory . . . 10 to 25 offers baffled adults new approaches--and possibly new hope--during some of their families' most difficult years."" --Wall Street Journal ""Ask business leaders about corporate life today, and one issue comes up again and again: the challenge of managing Gen Z.

[with] practical, targeted advice on managing young people."" --Financial Times ""In these case studies and profiles of successful mentors, Yeager shows how the most successful leaders not only expect the youth to succeed but also work with them to find the path to success.

This is a gold mine for anyone dealing with people in this age group."" --Booklist ""There are many books about the challenges of relating to young people--but none like this one.
