Today's topic is inspired by a statement of my coworker. "Sometimes, you have to treat them like your kids." Yes, you read that right. In an intergenerational office setting, younger workers (and the rest of us too, if we're honest) act like children in the workplace. We become needy or destructively resistant: whining, excessive complaining, avoiding responsibility, making excuses, claiming a lack of understanding, and placing motivation in the same bucket as preference. Dr. Shaunta considers the question "where is the line" for accountability, policy, and action in the workplace. How long is long enough for coaching, training, and repeating? When is the right time to act -- from demotion, to work reallocation, or termination?
