What Accenture and others have not said however, is they have stopped their Managers and Leaders conducting 1:1 reviews with their people.

In years gone by, this is what the formal annual or half yearly performance review was designed to do, for those Managers who did not have the younger generations they were leading at the time, with all the social media, technology and therefore immediacy available to them today.
Our world has changed and those leading others have to change too, otherwise they will be left behind rapidly.
