Ep. 62: Giving Feedback to Millennials




Zenger Folkman Leadership Podcast show

Summary: Conventional wisdom says that Millennials, when immersed in the workplace, prefer positive feedback. However a recent study conducted by Zenger Folkman, proves that it is not true. In fact, quite the opposite is true. “Hit Me With Your Best Shot!” When Millennials were asked, 80% said they preferred to receive negative or corrective feedback. Only 20% said they preferred positive or reinforcing feedback.Join Dr. Jack Zenger and Dr. Joe Folkman for a fascinating look at the research findings from this study and how they impact the careers and development for this group. Jack and Joe will answer the questions:What demographic/workplace groups have the greatest need for corrective feedback? Why do people both dread and desire corrective feedback? How can employees and managers develop practices which promote the exchange of feedback?Download the slides for "Giving Feedback to Millennials"
