Many organizations say they have a performance management system, but what they really have is a performance appraisal system.

The problem is that this does not…
In my work as an organization development consultant and trainer, I regularly conduct programs on leading and managing Gen Zs. I hear many familiar concerns from leaders. âThey ask too many questions.â âThey want feedback all the time.â âThey leave too quickly.â âThey are harder to motivate.â I understand the frustration.
