But, when comes to team members great leaders connect with their team by facilitating open communication, encouraging employee growth and development, and giving and receiving feedback (Schooley, 2019). Recent reports from the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Authority (fcsa.gov.ae) in United Arab Emirates government sector shows that the workers in last three years are different in age. We can find 56 years employee working together with 25 years worker at the same project. Nevertheless, how does it work and what are their needs.

One thing is getting the team members work together smoothly without feeling any differences because of the generations' gap. Open-minded leadership approach will works fine with them especially to fulfill everybody level of knowledge, experience, needs, etc. using the right leadership style whether transformational of transactional. This research will acknowledge that there are similarities and difference among different generations and will study the approach for good leadership in this case.
