ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We would like to thank the many people who made this book possible. We couldn’t have done it without all of our clients, colleagues, friends, and the countless millennials who shared their unique stories and anecdotes that truly enriched our book. Additionally, we would like to thank:

Allison Lackey, who helped with interviews, millennial insights, PR, and an amazing communications plan for the book. She was instrumental in making this book a success, and she is a great example of a go-getting millennial.

Nicole Scime, who tracked down our sources and references and helped with all of our logistics. Yet another millennial who makes our team great.

Jeff Hiller, who offered great perspective and ideas for bringing our chapters and advice to life.

Brian Keyes, who shared our love for millennial and generational research and kept us entertained and connected with the latest studies and insights on this riveting topic.

Warren Smith, who said, “When are you going to write a book about millennials?”

Matthew Carnicelli of CLM, who championed our idea and helped our book get published.

Christina Parisi, our editor, who believed in us from the start, and our supportive team at AMACOM. Barbara Chernow, our production editor, who had a Mrs. Stanley in her life too.

Joe for putting up with late nights, early mornings, and weekends of writing.

Muriel for being a sounding board and cheerleader through it all.

Milo, Gus, and Digby for sitting through way too many management lessons at very tender ages.

Lisa for being the most supportive, understanding, and compassionate wife I could have ever wished for.
