The Talent Revolution has been pivotal in exposing work-life longevity as the most influential driver transforming today's workplaces. It offers a competitive edge for organisations smart enough to capitalise on its lessons.

In a rare turn from the norm, this book positions older workers as revolutionaries and reveals how intergenerational organisations that engage employees across all life stages will outperform their competitors. In this updated paperback edition, authors Lisa Taylor and Fern Lebo draw on their expertise in leadership and career development to offer a timely picture of the post-pandemic modern workplace

defined by hybrid arrangements, shifting expectations, and evolving employee-employer dynamics. With clarity and precision, they describe new models, debunk commonly held myths about older workers, demolish justifications for traditional structures and attitudes, and build the case for a reset that will help smart companies profit from their most valuable assets, all while taking into consideration our current realities. Through case studies, metrics, strategies, and tactics, The Talent Revolution explores the impact of supercharged workforce demographics on the future of work, and offers new, actionable strategies for transforming an aging workforce into a competitive advantage.

Plotting new directions for both organisations and employees, Taylor and Lebo guide us towards the opportunities that come with leaving behind outdated career models and embracing longer working life expectancies in the workplace.

It’s a must-read to tap the potential productivity of a truly intergenerational workforce, and to make companies more profitable.” - Ali Velshi, Chief Correspondent and Host of ""Velshi"" MSNBC “The hard cover edition of The Talent Revolution has a place in the permanent collection within the Modern Elder Academy library. This revised edition goes even further and makes sense of a post-COVID, AI-evolving world of work by presenting tools and approaches leaders need to fully capitalize on the wisdom of modern elders within their teams.” - Chip Conley, New York Times Bestselling Author and Founder, MEA “The Talent Revolution persuasively makes the case for a transformation in the way companies think about age and work. Taylor and Lebo offer a ground-breaking perspective on the intergenerational workforce and practical advice that will be invaluable to any organization seeking to understand and profit from its older workers.” - Benjamin Nadler, Co-Founder and President, Sensei Labs “We need to challenge deeply ingrained myths and to prepare for meaningful career development. In this context, leaders, if they want to profit from the untapped source of wealth in their teams, have to see longevity as their ‘single greatest competitive opportunity.’” - Catherine Glee-Vermande, Associate Professor of Human Resources, iaelyon School of Management, Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3
