The coming decade is one of transition for many companies. Office-dwelling boomers exit as new professionals who thrive in virtual worlds enter the workforce. Their work styles and life expectations could not be farther apart. [Additional thoughts here and here] By making life good for new hires, do companies risk accelerating the departure of those with the institutional knowledge, thus creating a gap? By being deliberate and cautious in transitioning to a new work ethic and style, do companies fail to attract and retain the workforce of their futures? Care to weigh in?

Business Week magazine ran a terrific article on this topic in August.

"A Guide For Multinationals: One of the great challenges for a multinational is learning how to build a productive global team." (http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/07_34/b4047405.htm)

It goes to the heart of the opportunities and the challenges posed in this management revolution, with great readers' comments, too.
