The temporal rhyming with the 1920s is strong: Exactly 100 years later, after a decade of conflict and 30y of a new tech eating the world (mass industrial urban consumerism). A sense of one era ending and another starting. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaring_Twenties …

The official dates are 1925-45 (too young to fight in WW2, born before the Boom), so the bulk of the generation was born during the Depression or war and has only small memories of it (my parents, for instance, b.1936/7). Teenagers in the 50s, started careers in the 60s.

Yeah my dad is 1938, started in 1959, but that’s back half. Anyone born 1925-35 would be in career by the time Org Man thesis was researched. Not leadership. But you’re right that bulk of org men would be GI Bill vets starting out in middle mgmt on strength of war experience.
