Strategies for Leadership Styles for Multi-Generational Workforce

The workforce in the United States has been divided into four distinct groups, which are identified as generations. Each generation has developed a set of values and attitudes that are different from one another. Leaders in various organizational settings should understand these generational differences in order to be more effective in leading a multigenerational labor force. In this study, the authors reviewed literature related to this topic and examined each generation’s characteristics, lifestyles, values, and attitudes. The conclusion from this study is that generational differences are legitimate diversity issues that organizations need to recognize and understand.
