Got Game by John C Beck
"Got Game" shows how growing up immersed in video games has profoundly shaped the attitudes and abilities of this new generation. Though little-noticed, these ninety million rising professionals, through sheer numbers, will inevitably dominate business - and are already changing the rules. While many of these changes are positive - such as more open communication and creative problem-solving - they have caused a generation gap that frustrates gamers and the boomers who manage them. "Got Game" identifies the distinct values and traits that define the gamer generation - from an increased appetite for risk to unexpected leadership skills - and reveals management techniques today's leaders can use to bridge the generation gap and unleash gamers' hidden potential.
