Summary/Abstract: The Romanian workforce is more diversified than ever in terms of generations. The diversity of generations and their vision of leadership has created a conflict over how to lead organizations whose employees have a very different view from generation to generation. Each generation has a set of values, attitudes and beliefs that can influence the way leaders of organizations lead their people. When we talk about the diversity of generations we refer to 4 of them: BabyBoomers, Generation X, Generation Y and the latest Generation Z. Companies have a huge opportunity in terms of the Millenials generation, right now, because this is the generation that will take over the workforce. These individuals are among the few people who were born in an age where information can be accessed in seconds with the help of technology. Compared to other generations, their level of literacy and digitization is much higher than we can imagine. Businesses can capitalize on their potential for better workplace efficiency and positive outcomes. This study aims to find the best qualities in terms of leadership and to raise awareness between the leaders to be more flexible regarding the leadership styles and to adapt to the needs of the employees.
