Generation Xers will not tolerate command and control leadership. They expect more reason to excel than merely producing profit for someone else. Business today is global. People have more jobs, careers, and responsibilities throughout a lifetime - potential for a greater impact. Today's business is crying out for leaders interested in people, as well as product and revenues.
Global competition demands leaders who draw from diverse experiences.
Leaders must develop other leaders. They must build teams and collaborative cultures in order to achieve employee loyalties.
