Abstract:

The 75 million members of the extremely child-centric Millennial generation are known for their
distinctive traits, such as a preference for personal attention and high esteem of their abilities. As new
entrants to the world of work, this team-oriented, technology-savvy, idealistic generation is awaiting the
inspiration, leadership, and motivation we owe them. Ensuring a rewarding outcome in guiding this
hyper-connective, creative cohort is a challenge we cannot escape. Through semi-structured interviews,
this qualitative inquiry explores the values and communication styles of Generation Y and discusses the
opportunities lying within revealing and nurturing their resources through the principles of
transformational leadership.
