The leadership expectations of millennials

Artikel

Research questions: Do Millennials expect motivational support as the most important leadership quality from their leaders in the workplace? Is there a significant gap from the motivational support that they expect and what they are actually receiving? Methods: Empirical study using the shortened Leadership Tasks Survey with 19 questions to be answered twice (first for expectations and secondly for reality) to survey 68 Millennials (born 1990-1995) in the United States and Germany about: their expected leadership styles and what they actually experience in the workplace. Results: The analysis shows that the Millennials surveyed do not rank any dimension higher than the other. Therefore, they do not rank Motivational Support as the highest expected leadership quality. However, it can be statistically proven that there is a gap in the motivational support expected and what they are actually receiving in the workplace.
