Book Description
It is important to study the impact of generational gaps on leadership styles because ultimately leadership styles define the success of an organization. There can be conflicts at workplace due the changing dimensions of the workforce. The leadership approach most appropriate for Millennials is the situational leadership. Performance of an organization depends completely on its people, and if the leaders are not adapting to changing requirements of the workforce then the organization cannot be successful.

Book Description
Every few decades, a new generation enters the workplace and organisational leaders are facing challenges with finding the best ways to lead and maximise their contributions within the multi-generational workforce. The generational cohort, Generation Y (millennials), born between 1979 to 1997, is the newest entrants in the workplace. Similar to previous generations who entered the workplace, Generation Y also brings unique characteristics and strengths to organisations, such as tech-savviness and willingness to make a meaningful contribution, which makes it impractical to have a one-size fits-all leadership approach in leading the multi-generational workforce. If the potential of Generation Y employees is unlocked through the right leadership styles and leadership communication approaches, they could turn out to be an organisation’s biggest assets. Approached from a post-modern world view, the aim of this study was to determine the preferred leadership style and leadership communication for Generation Y employees. This was done by conducting 20 face-to-face semistructured interviews with Generation Y employees across a few industries. With the consent of interviewees, the researcher took voice recordings and manually transcribed the interviews. The researcher made use of both manually and automated coding using the software programme Leximancer. The purpose of this study was to propose guidelines and develop a conceptual framework to organisational leaders based on the preferences of Generation Y employees in terms of leadership styles and leadership communication. From the findings, there is no one leadership style that would be ideal in managing Generation Y employees, instead a combination of leadership styles is preferred depending on the circumstances. The circumstances may require characteristics of the autocratic, participative, transformational, laissez-faire, servant and/or the communicative leadership style. With regards to leadership communication, important to Generation Y employees is that there is clear, open and frequent communication at all times. Organisational leaders should ensure that the preferred topics are included in the communication activities to these employees, namely: growth opportunities; personal performance; financial performance; expectations, roles and responsibilities; and any updates that may impact them. The preferred organisational leader would engage in face-to-face communication to speak to employees, and would share an email afterwards with the main points discussed to ensure that there is a paper trail. Although guidelines and a conceptual framework are proposed by this study, it remains the responsibility of organisational leaders to assess the various circumstances and determine what the ideal leadership style and leadership communication approaches would be for the different scenarios.

Book Description
Generation Y - those people born between 1983 and 1995 - is now moving into senior management and leadership roles around the world. Many from Generation Y (Gen Y) have grown up in relatively turbulent times and lived through significant economic and political change, and all have experienced huge advances in technology and the communication channels they use on a daily basis. This generation will have the economic future of the world in its hands, but what is it that makes them tick in the workplace? What will motivate Gen Y employees and help businesses attract and retain them? How can you best work with them and lead them? This book examines the views, opinions and aspirations of more than 13,000 18-30-year-olds across 13 countries and four regions of the world. The research explores several key areas related to their work and careers. Specifically, we wanted to know what attracts Generation Y people to a potential employer and what makes them stay in a job. We asked what they look for in an ideal boss and what they regard as markers of success in their careers. We explored their attitudes to changing jobs and starting their own businesses. And, we asked about their use of social media, which is transforming the way people communicate at work and in their leisure time. The findings show that, while there are common themes within this fascinating generation, there are also huge differences when it comes to what motivates them in the workplace, some of which constitute regional or national trends. For some, access to wealth-creating opportunities is a priority, while, for others, the opportunity to help make the world a better place is of greater importance. Some have a strong entrepreneurial streak and wish to build businesses, while others are driven by the opportunity for personal development. Any business manager or HR professional whose workforce relies on Generation Y employees needs to understand them. Being able to identify their motivations and desires in the countries and regions in which you operate is crucial to attracting and retaining these people. No one approach is universally successful. This book explores these differences, with detailed country and regional reports, assessing the implications for organisations and helping business leaders shape appropriate and effective employee value propositions and talent strategies.

Book Description
"In today's workplace, four generations are present. As each generation is shaped by icons, historical event, and values, and appears to have defining strengths, weaknesses, assets, and liabilities, this mix of individuals in the workplace presents a challenge to manage and retain. If leaders knew each generation's attitudes, values, and work styles, perhaps approaches to work problems and challenges could be resolved more efficiently and effectively. Leaders could take advantage of this information to complement their organizations by utilizing the strengths of others, to provide development of weaknesses in others, and specifically to use information about Generation Y. The effects of generational differences in the workplace have been studied for several decades. However, it is unclear if these differences have been studied in terms of organizations accommodating the needs of younger generations entering the workplace to stabilize retention rates of that group. The effects of age discrimination on Generation Y have also been relatively unexplored. Recent observations of new and younger employees reveal pressure they feel to conform to organizational cultures, as has been true in the past. Such cultures may indicate an organizational expectation that younger employees must have tenure before the organization will accept their ideas and suggestions for improvement. By exploring differences between generations about what employees want in a work environment and how to retain these individuals, leaders of organizations can leverage this information to plan resources, strategies, and projects that will positively impact productivity and the general work culture. It would also provide an opportunity to understand younger generations among family, friends, and colleagues in the community, church, and workplace."--leaf iv.
