First things first—which style of leadership should you use when you’re managing different generations of employees?
Transactional leadership is a practical approach that values structure, rewards employees based on results, and provides a balance of flexibility and structure. This style of leadership offers a variety of advantages, such as clearly defined rewards and penalties and the ability to quickly achieve short-term goals and clear structure. By using a transactional leadership style, you can ensure your message is received by all employees without appearing discriminatory or biased toward one generation.
