The Managers Perspective: A Case Study on Key Leadership Characteristics for todays Multigenerational Workforce
(2024) BUSN49 20241Department of Business Administration
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Our study aims to address the research gap pertaining to the identification of leadership characteristics that managers consider essential in a multigenerational team within contemporary organizations. Additionally, the study examines the impact of stereotypical thinking on leadership effectiveness.
Regarding the key findings, managers emphasized the evolving expectations of leadership, highlighting the need of humanity, acceptance, and reflectivity to lead multigenerational teams effectively. In addition, we found a notable gap between the expressed ideal characteristics and observed leadership behaviors. This discrepancy is assumed to stem from stereotypical perceptions and limited reflectivity.
