Military Millennials: Implications for Leaders

Abstract

Non-Millennial military leaders must recognize and understand Millennial attributes and their implications for the leader/led relationship in order to more effectively employ the fastest growing segment of the armed services. This study analyzes recent (2009- 2015) academic research and surveys to determine five primary Millennial attributes that influence military organizations. Additionally, an examination of academic, business, and military literature reveals key implications for the leader/led relationship. Finally, recommendations for leadership were determined by analyzing the defined attributes and implications in order to improve the leader/led relationship and unit performance.
