Abstract
Leadership has always been an interesting but challenging and dynamic area of management studies. Be it the theories on leadership or the evolution of leadership or what makes good leadership, studies are numerous. But with the changing workforce, and organizations having more than four generations at work, it becomes more interesting and challenging to lead this group. Among the existing generations, the millennial generation workforce calls for more studies due to changing patterns of work, culture, technology roles, etc. Hence adopting a qualitative approach with an in-depth literature review; the aim of this chapter is to understand the concept of millennial leadership and the future prospects for millennial leaders to make a positive contribution to global society.
