What People Are Saying about Millennials’ Guide to Management and Leadership
“Millennials’ Guide to Management and Leadership is required reading for any 20-or 30-something looking to grow as a professional while still prioritizing their emotional wellness. Starting your career as a Millennial often means dealing with workplace stereotypes, feeling like an imposter, and difficulty achieving a healthy work/life balance. This book tackles these issues and more, including hot button issues like asking for a raise, difficult bosses, or knowing when it’s time to leave or change paths. There is no question this book can’t answer for you!”
— Alison Feuer, MPH
“There may be other books that call for new ways of thinking for Millennial leaders, but until Jennifer Wisdom put her knowledge to paper, no other book has provided such a wise, research-backed guide complete with practical action steps. As a Millennial entrepreneur myself, I cannot recommend this powerful work highly enough as it directly addresses the challenges that are unique to this group. For any emerging leader or manager this book should be the first point of reference for all personal and professional interactions”
— Danielle Cuomo, MBA
Millennials’ Guide to Workplace Politics
about the book
Why should Millennials care about workplace politics?
The term “workplace politics” has become nearly completely overtaken by negative, sometimes abusive, selfish, corrupt, and harmful power moves. But there are also positive, honest politics that can help you become a better leader when used appropriately. In fact, politics are part of everyday work life. Talented managers and leaders who do not engage in work politics often get left out of the important decision-making process and fail to progress or thrive in their career. With Millennials becoming 60% of the workforce in the next decade, they are in a great position to make an critical impact.
Clinical Psychologists Mira Brancu and Jennifer P. Wisdom join forces in this Millennials Guide Series book to help Millennials become successful, respected, and effective managers and leaders, this time by conquering the nebulous world of workplace politics.

“Millennials’ Guide to Workplace Politics is that in-between step I’ve been looking for regarding getting into consultation work and better understanding the politics embedded in the workplace. I particularly found the chapter on how to ask for useful feedback applicable because as someone who experiences impostor syndrome, workplace politics can make you wary of asking how to improve. The personal reflections that Drs. Brancu and Wisdom share throughout this book are witty, personable, and super helpful. Do yourself a favor, and grab this book!”
