| | MY YOUNGER EMPLOYEES WON'T ACCEPT FEEDBACK. WHAT CAN I DO?
| | by Justin Hale
|
|
| | I have a few people on my team who can’t take feedback. They aren’t bad employees, but when I try to give them constructive feedback they curl up in an emotional ball. I even had an employee walk out of the room and go home for the day because they couldn’t handle the feedback. I wasn’t firing them or even putting them on a performance plan. My friends tell me to chalk it up to sensitive “Millennials” and “Zoomers.” It’s true that many of them are junior members of the team, and I’m not sure what to do.

| | | | Thanks for your question. The first thing I’ll say is I don’t think your friends are helping you much. Labeling someone according to their generation doesn’t solve the problem of them lacking skills to receive feedback. And these are not the first generations to get defensive in the face of feedback. I find that many people, old and young, struggle with feedback, especially when it’s unexpected. Here are a few insights I hope will help. | | |
