Description

Feedback is the fuel of leadership, but not everyone receives it the same way. What works for a Baby Boomer might alienate a Gen Z Airman. In this episode, we break down how different generations prefer to receive both praise and constructive criticism. From private conversations to public recognition, understanding these preferences can be the key to boosting morale, engagement, and performance.
