Tammy Erickson writes an interesting blog for the Harvard Business Review. It's called "Across the Ages", and it deals specifically with the challenges inherent in managing people of different generations and, therefore, different mindsets.
As I watch Gen Ys enter our business, I'm struck by how different they are from me and my Gen X compatriots. But then, I'm quite different from my Boomer managers / coworkers.
I highly recommend Tammy's blog for regular reading. You'd be surprised what you'll learn and apply.
More specifically, this week she raises the issue of feedback and how different generations react to it. You can jump to that article here.
Also, she makes mention of a new web service called Rypple that makes it easy for you to solicit feedback from coworkers in an anonymous, purely web-based fashion. Kind of like a 360 review, without the depth. Here's their explainer video from their site.
