The Wrap

No. 1. That’s where “The Generational Advantage” debuted on Amazon’s list of new release HR books yesterday. The book is written by Greenvillian Kamber Parker Bowden, who also founded Generational Performance Solutions — a local workforce strategy firm that helps organizations via generational intelligence.

She’s also a friend of mine, and I’m incredibly proud to see her write and publish a book with such a stellar debut. Way to go, Kamber!
