People generally hate getting performance evaluations. The traditional exercise is to spend the most time and effort going back over what, why and how something’s been done…. with not much focus on what’s next and how to be effective at it. Truth is we usually get feedback in real time: if something’s not right it’s usually pointed out immediately, and if it is, the reaction is often muted. The dynamic between employees their supervisors are works in progress, subject to contemporaneous scrutiny, reaction, feedback, coaching, and openness. Leading companies are changing the way they supervise and give feedback: deal with issues now; be fully involved and committed; learn and move on. If you’re worried about how to manage millennials (and every other generation) then work on getting this right. If you’re not doing this then you’re probably not as effective as you need to be: this is what everyone wants. No exception.
