The desire to lead and be a leader

The survey showed a great deal. For example, millenialy more likely to aspire to be leaders, but for different reasons. In the study, 40% of respondents answered that they get the position of manager or supervisor - this is very important. The number of such responses ranged from 8% in Japan to 63% in India. The reasons (money, opportunities, career) also differed.

Big salary was one of the main reasons why millenialy aspire to leadership positions. Half of the respondents in Central and Eastern Europe have chosen salary the main reason for wanting to be a leader. However, only 17% of Africans have agreed with them.

The question of who millenialy would like to see the head, too, has not received a clear answer. In North America, Western Europe and Africa, 40% of respondents said they want to see the leaders of the man who can stimulate their subordinates. However, in Central Europe and Asia, only 12% chose the same answer. This may be due to the autocratic regime of government in Central Europe and Asia, which only changed some time ago.

In India, 42% voted in favor of flexible working hours, and in Vietnam 76% spend their time on other activities - sport or national holidays. Respondents from Asia rely more on society than Western counterparts. They often depend on the support of family and friends.

The biggest fears

Three biggest fear settled in the following order:

1. Lack of development.
2. Inability to realize their career goals.
3. Inability to find a job that meets your needs.

In Africa, 22% of respondents were concerned that their chances of getting a decent job are slim due to ethnicity. The same indicator in North America - 12%, in South America - 2%, European - 1%.

The biggest fears on different continents:

1. North America: "I will be too much work."
2. South America: "I can not perform the work load."
3. Europe: "I will not be valuable to the organization."

The conclusion is simple: take a job the people of South America.
