Research shows that leaders who adopt authentic or servant-leadership styles of influence positively impact the profitability and long-term success of the organization.

• What leadership skills do this generation seem to lack compared to other generations? What leadership skills does this generation have?
• How can organizations prepare millennials for leadership roles?
• What types of skills will a millennial leader value in the future workforce?

You will need to summarize key ideas, express yourself clearly, and illustrate your points.
