Re-issued! Graeme Codrington and Sue Grant-Marshall’s Mind the gap
Due to the enormous success of the original edition of Mind the Gap by Graeme Codrington and Sue Grant-Marshall, Penguin books has decided to re-issue this fantastic guide to the generational gap that will change the way you think.
Fasten your seatbelt for a generational roller coaster ride!
This title is for you if you want to know why: Your 18-year-old son isn’t interested in being a doctor – he wants to save the whale; your grandfather gives you Big Band CDs for your birthday; your secretary knows more than you do; your grandson calls you Peter instead of granddad. In short, this title aims to promote understanding between the generations. This is vitally important in our most defining relationships – those between parents and children. We are so influenced by our parents that understanding them will help us to understand why we are influenced by them – and, therefore, help us to understand ourselves better.
About the Authors
Graeme Codrington studied a BComm at WITS, while doing Chartered Accountancy articles with KPMG. While doing articles and solutions development, Graeme became interested in understanding the so-called “generation gap” – why young people found it so easy to enter the “new economy” and handle technology, while experienced adults could not – and why adults were sceptical, cynical and even hostile. In order to gain some theoretical insights, Graeme turned to the academic study of young people and human interactions. He completed a Bachelor of Theology (Arts) degree (cum laude from University of Zululand), a Licentiate (Honours) (Youth) (cum laude from BTC Southern Africa), and a Masters in Youth Work (cum laude MDiac, from UNISA). He is currently completing his PhD in Business Administration (DBA), with majors in leadership, future studies and international strategy consulting. Graeme works in a wide range of industries as a consultant, presenter and futurist. He does this with two partners, working in a “frameworking” consultancy known as TomorrowToday.biz.
He has co-authored three books with Penguin: Mind Over Money in 2002, Mind The Gap in 2004 and Future Proof Your Child in 2008.
