Leading Four Generations in Today’s Workplace Leaders in America’s workplace today face a challenge that has not been seen in the history of the United States.

It is the difference in the way the individuals of these generations view society, the world, the job, and each other that make leading them a challenge. “The work characteristics of these generational groups are an important issue for their leaders (Yu & Miller, 2005, page 2).” Each group has unique work characteristics that force leadership to use different leadership styles to be effective and motivate the employee. This paper is a review of the different generations, their core believes and influences, their work charactsitices, and the needed leadership methods to get the highest performance, both individually or in groups.
