I received a couple of interesting comments on the last couple of posts. I also was sent the following from another website (sorry I do not have it – it was just pasted in and sent in an email to me -- if you find it, send it to me- I would like to read the entire post) –

“Gen Y employees want feedback “on-demand” — they want to know how they’re doing after virtually every meeting, presentation, report, project or any other demonstration of their skills.

Most Gen Ys don’t dispute this fact at all. Almost every young employee I’ve questioned about this stereotype has agreed that it’s true: they can’t get enough feedback at work. This may be because Millennials grew up receiving endless feedback from their performance on video games. Or it may be because they received constant attention and encouragement from their helicopter parents. Or, as digital natives, Gen Ys are used to comparing themselves to the rest of the world with a single click.”

I really liked this and thought about the two-way nature of feedback. The more I ponder the concept of feedback, the more critical I think it is to the nature of communication.
