Each generation brings its own set of beliefs, work ethics, priorities, and personal approaches to organizations and leaders, offering new problems.

Understanding their work patterns and picking appropriate leadership styles or management theories are critical for good management. This review study looks at leadership ideas and how they apply to millennials in Indian organizations.
