Short YouTube #Shorts video (Mark Evans DM, Feb 10, 2023) containing a short conversational transcript between two speakers. They discuss leadership, the importance of acknowledging employee performance (an anecdote about a senior employee wanting recognition rather than a raise), and note that sensitivity and expectations may vary by age group/generation.
We had conversations with all our employees, and one of our senior employees literally came in. He's like, you know, last time you told me, good job. I'm not coming in here wanting a raise. I just want you to acknowledge that I'm doing well. And I was like, holy shit, that's crazy to me.
I think, listen, it's something we got to be conscious of because again, this is like leadership, leading people and understanding what makes them tick. People are some more sensitive nowadays, too.
Age group.
Yeah, I think there's definitely some of that. But also, who raised these young kids? It's the older people that talk shit about them. It's like, guys, we kind of are creating our own problem. So it's like, I want to create real humans that are productive in the environment that are great givers, great professional and just genuinely nice people and givers.
