Some time ago i had blogged about why children seemed to be so quick with computers compared to adults…I had mentioned the key ingredient being ‘consistency’ in stimulus-response which children need / like.
I have been pondering about the struggles Gen Y and their employers have over some performance related issues.
It appears where consistency is present, Gen Y excels, ie tell them exactly what to do and they know the exact response, anticipate the positive feedback to follow, they are happy and excel. However, minus the consistency, they start to flounder a little, and become unsure and eventually stressed and choose not to put up with the inconsistencies.
They are so used to consistency [all the electronic gadgets], so to what degree can organisations ensure consistency in everything?
But life is seldom all consistent. Part of the real world is the inconsistencies which schools / colleges never prepared us for.
