Advice for anyone who is managing an employee who graduated school post Winter 2020 (Part 3):
This is the third posting of a new series designed to help those who have been most affected (from a career standpoint) by what I will call "The COVID ERA".
If you are managing people from the COVID ERA, you need to accept the fact that you are not only a manager, but also a mentor. I know you mentorship is not in your job description and is unfair but facts are facts.
The group wants to succeed but it is, unfortunately, your responsibility to guide them by handling proper training for not just job functions but also for internal and external communications. You will have to teach protocols, processes, procedures and at times, political correctness.
This group of young people need guidance. They want to become great performers. It is our responsibility to help them achieve their goals. It is a win-win for everyone.
