The year was 1970, and I was a shy high school student. All around me things were changing, and my world seemed to spin out of control. In order to deal with all of the turmoil, now known as the ’’sex, drugs and rock-in-roll’’ era, I wrote down my feelings in the form of poetry. Over the next 3-5 years I expressed my feelings in twenty-three poems. I feel that teenagers’ feelings are ’’consistent through the times,’’ and that teenagers of any era will be able to relate to my poetry.

Imagine a pied piper singing in falsetto, wearing sequins, and leading the young people of the nation to San Francisco and on to a liberation where nothing was straight-laced or old-fashioned. And everyone, finally, was welcome-to come as themselves. This is not a fairy tale. This was real, mighty real, and disco-sensation Sylvester was the piper.Yale-trained sociologist Joshua Gamson uses Sylvester+s life to lead us through the story of the +70s, when a generation took off its shame.

No doubt about it: The newest diversity issue in the workplace is age diversity. Many organizations have finally figured out how to recruit young talent only to watch them drive down a collision course with seasoned employees over issues like work ethic, respect for authority, dress code and every work arrangement imaginable. And they’re not sure what to do about it. The fact is, generational conflicts are not merely a matter of young versus old. They mirror critical business issues every organization faces as it transitions from the workplace of the past to that of the future. Managing
