Abstract: The global environment of organizations requires from management to respond promptly to the demands of a changing environment, both external and internal, requiring managers to continually develop their skills, especially in the area of soft skills. The current management of organizations, in an effort to make the most of their employees’ potential, seeks to promote an individual approach to their motivation, expresses an increased interest in employee satisfaction and loyalty, encourages employee involvement in achieving organization goals, seeks to apply W-L-B and more. This requires managers to have a high level of social skills and an appropriate leadership style that considers both the needs of the individual and his cultural background. Highly productive employees are the key to success for all organizations, they are the key to a competitive advantage in the global business world. At present, there is a strong pressure on organizations to behave in the spirit of corporate social responsibility both by senior staff and by the general public. Highly required is a style of leadership that honors basic ethical principles in any country. It should be stressed that there are still organizations that do not respect, for example, the need for ethical leadership, ethical decision-making at all levels of management and all employees. The aim of the paper is to point to preferred leadership styles especially in the younger generation, helping to increase their job satisfaction and productivity, as well as those of managers who will support this effort in a culturally diverse environment. In the submitted analysis of the topic selected scientific methods were applied such as e.g. a critical analysis and synthesis, comparison and deduction.
