Presently there are four generational cohorts in the workplace. Born from 1977 to 1997, the youngest cohort group, referred to as Generation Y (or Gen Y) in this study. The importance of leader-subordinate relationships in the workplace has been confirmed; in recognizing this, leaders must identify and adapt to the changing era-shaped needs of employees, who cannot fully participate in organizational life if their most urgent needs are not being met. Because Gen Y employees are only now entering the workforce, little is actually known about the workplace needs of this cohort group. This study attempted to determine leadership needs of a Gen Y cohort as a means to enhance workplace relationships in the 21st century organization. To extend the credibility of this research, the data was collected from 250 respondents who are aware of the leadership theories; this is vital, as the research is about trying to understand what Generation Y perceives about the types of leadership theories and drives them therefore, they must have some form of contact with the types of leadership theories. It was concluded in the end of the research that through correlation analysis, Gen Y are behavioral approach oriented rather than Great Man theory approach.
