Endorsements for Working Across Generations

"Leadership, leadership, leadership. The social sector needs more leadership. The social sector needs new leaders. Or does it? Read this solidly researched and cogently argued work by Kunreuther, Kim and Rodriguez. You, like I was, will be enlightened."

Sanjeev Khagram Ph.D.
Wyss Scholar
Harvard Business School Social Enterprise Program


"Finally! A breakdown of some of the most pressing leadership challenges we face today. Working Across Generations serves as a primer for non-profits needing to transform structure, culture and practices so that we are not only more effective, but also able to involve and sustain more people in this sector."

Jane Sung E Bai
Political Education Coordinator
Social Justice Leadership


"Challenging the collective belief that the leadership crisis in the nonprofit sector is about retiring baby boomers, Kunreuther, Kim and Rodriguez offer a new set of lenses to look deeply at the existing data, reframe the problem, and re-imagine fresh solutions to support the field. This book is a must for practitioners, but also for nonprofit scholars and the students they teach."

Sonia Ospina, Ph.D.
Professor, Research Center for Leadership in Action, Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, New York University
Wagner School of Public Service


"Instead of the 'sky is falling' alarms about generational change that are reminiscent of the Y2K scare, Kunreuther, Kim and Rodriguez have written a real-world look at the context and complexities of the changes to come, and a practical approach for maximizing the opportunities that these changes present to us."

Jan Masaoka
Director & Editor in Chief, BlueAvocado.org


"Paralyzed by reports and data, the field continues to be perplexed by the so called generational crisis and how it should respond. Kunreuther, Kim and Rodriguez offer a sober critique of work thus far reframing the discussion as an opportunity and move the reader to practical approaches that will likely transform the field."

Patrick Corvington
Senior Associate, The Annie E. Casey Foundation


"Headlines, research and polls tell us that GenXers and Millennials are influencing politics and the work of policy reform across the country. Now thanks to authors Kunreuther, Kim and Rodriguez, we see how they're working for positive change in their communities--often under the radar screen. By providing a comprehensive examination of this work, the authors show how transformation can be sustainable when different generations realize they can learn from each other, and work together to create lasting change."

Tamara Draut
Vice President of Policy and Programs at Demos: A Network for Ideas & Action, and author of Strapped: Why America's 20- and 30-Somethings Can't Get Ahead


"A much-needed addition to the field of non-profit leadership. Nuanced, balanced, optimistic and practical, Working Across Generations should be required reading for anyone who cares about the sustainability of this essential sector."

Akaya Windwood
President/CEO, Rockwood Leadership Institute


"If you are a long-term leader of a nonprofit organization or a newcomer to the field, you must read this book because it has useful insights and practical information about how to deal with leadership transition issues in both your own organization and the nonprofit sector as a whole."

Frank J. Omowale Satterwhite, Ph.D.
Founder and Senior Advisor, National Community Development Institute
