Book excerpt: There are currently 5 generations in the workforce: Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials making up the greatest part. Leading a multigenerational workplace has become increasingly difficult for the public sector as Millennials in the United States will soon makeup the workforce majority (Harrington, 2017). A multigenerational workplace creates unique challenges due to differences caused by age, communication styles, values, life events, and expectations. We need research to address this issue, so we know exactly what Millennials expect from their management and what leadership styles they prefer. This study will assess millennial expectations from their workplace and management, and examine the dominant style of leadership currently in place. The research will focus on two leadership styles, transactional and transformational, and will include all workers, supervisors, and management. Data will be collected through surveys administered at each of the LA County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) District offices through the employee emailing system. Findings from this study will be used to help management understand what leadership styles are preferred by employees of varying generations, and by doing so they will help ease tensions between generations, retain Millennials, and make for a more productive workplace.
