Abstract

Generation Z (GenZ), the most ethnically diverse, connected, and technologically sophisticated generation, enters the global workforce and affects its dynamics in profound ways. Recent studies reveal that GenZs (members of Generation Z) are more realistic, career-minded, and entrepreneurial than previous generations. They are globally and environmentally aware, concerned about social justice, and want their ideas to be heard and valued. GenZs rely on technology to access and share information, and to increase their task effectiveness, yet prefer in-person communication and high-intensity relationships/mentorship at work. Their unique characteristics affect the ways they are influenced, motivated, and inspired by their leaders and how they develop as future leaders. This chapter examines how, in the digital age, the characteristics of GenZs are shaping the future of the leadership-followership dyad worldwide, potentially steering the values and views on leadership and followership in North-West and South-East towards a common denominator.
