Insuring Tomorrow is not only the best thing written about Millennials in the Insurance industry, it's the best thing I've read on Millennials in the workplace period.
Tony, just finished reading Insuring Tomorrow. Thank you to you and Carly for sharing your insights. I have so many passages highlighted, starred, and earmarked that I felt like I was back in college! I am excited to share the book with our senior management and am ordering a copy for each of them today. Cheers to all Insurance Nerds!
An entirely relevant, necessary and essential read for leaders in insurance. The best book on understanding culture since Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers,
I am reading your book right now and it is brilliant!
Essential reading for insurance executives to compete in the way for talent.
Having spent 10 years in the insurance industry as a millennial, this book had many great points that resonated with me. I've often found myself adapting to the approach of boomers as they predominantly control the industry but this book shows the other side of the equation. It is a great quick read that applies as much to other generations as it does millennials. I would recommend it for anyone in a leadership position looking to better understand the talent pipeline and future landscape of the industry. The insurance industry is a fascinating, stable, and can provide significant career opportunities; this book helps articulate that value to the next generation of aspiring leaders!
Really enjoyed your book (Insuring Tomorrow)! As a frequent employer of Millennials, I found it very useful.
This is an incredibly well written book about a serious problem. Tony and Carly have clearly done their homework and their analysis and advice can be a game-changer. This is an essential book for all Insurance Hiring Executives.
Insuring Tomorrow puts forth a compelling argument not only for hiring Millennials, but actively looking to adjuster your company to fit them. Starting with a thorough handling of the "why" behind the Y Generation, Tony and Carly paint a portrait of their generation that is vivid and complete. There's no time to think it through, workshop it, or wargame it. We need to implement and implement now.
I finished the book a couple weeks ago. You guys did a fantastic job! Well played and found it very insightful, so much so that I have already bought seven additional copies and gifted five of them.
Any who care about the future of the insurance industry, especially those who are involved in talent management and recruiting should read this book.
Really enjoyed Insuring Tomorrow by Carly Burnham and Tony Canas. Their research, knowledge and insight into our next generation of professionals in our industry was enlightening and thought provoking. A great read for the leaders of our industry as we prepare for the next group that will take the reins of the insurance business. For those not in the insurance business, there are many transferable insights for engaging the next generation in any business segment.
I read Insuring Tomorrow in one sitting during a flight to London. It is truly outstanding!
Every insurance CEO should read this! This is a quick read that every industry leader should study. Understanding how to engage Millennials is key to business success.
Provides insurance executives a compelling call to action with genuine passion for the industry.
Must read for all the Baby Boomers and Xers, the Millennials I associate with are super engaged & highly motivated - time to stop bashing and embrace the talent that is before us.
I read "Insuring Tomorrow" and I couldn't put it down. Great, quick read chock full of enlightenment for a non-millennia. Thank you for all you are doing in the industry! You and your work are impressive.
Read the book, chock full of good insight and information.
I have read "Insuring Tomorrow" and it is excellent! I have recommended that ALL leaders in my company read it. I am a Gen Xer and yet many of the changes you suggest we make for Millennials would be exciting to me as well. Thank you!
