Anthony's New Book is Coming Soon!

For the first time in history, four generations are working side by side. And it's not working.

Boomers think younger workers are too soft. Gen Z feels dismissed before they even speak. Millennials are burning out. Gen X is stuck in the middle.

Generational conflict is costing companies $56 billion a year in lost productivity. Keynote speaker Anthony McLean has seen it firsthand, working with global brands like PepsiCo, AT&T, and Intel. In The Four Generations, he uses candor, research, and hilarious stories to show what's driving the conflict and how to turn it into connection.

Whether you lead a multigenerational team, want to communicate better across age gaps, or just want less friction in your family, this book will help you build bridges at work and at home.

The Four Generations is a beautiful, conversational, funny and practical guide to the threads we all hold to bring us back together.

Anthony has a gift for simplifying what divides us and showing us how to connect. If anyone can help generations finally understand each other, it’s him.

If you’ve ever thought “Kids these days…” or “Okay Boomer,” read this. It's smart, funny, and full of insights about inter-generational angst and the glorious opportunity that comes from actually understanding each other.
