Abstract

This research examines aspects of ideal and effective leadership for the millennial generation and generation Z, such as transformational leadership style, clear vision communication, building trust, equal rights, open communication, innovation, technology and creativity. Digital and virtual leadership becomes important by utilizing digital media for remote interactions. The application of good corporate governance principles has been proven to have a positive effect on performance. Sustainable leadership is the key to successful sustainable business transformation by paying attention to leadership awareness, context, sustainable mindset, continuity, as well as connected and creative leadership abilities. Leaders need to develop adaptability, intergenerational understanding, self-control, and become institutional entrepreneurs to change accountability in the industry. Implementing a good CSR program can have a positive impact on the environment, community empowerment and company image.
