Conference on the third mission of the university Proceedings, 2018

The transformational leader of 21st century, who is, at the same time, the leader in permanent learning and creation, is different in understanding of the need to change his or her own manner and style of communication with employees, who, under the impact and by accepting the change, themselves become creators of added value in the company. The knowledge era is shifting towards the era of design thinking, entrepreneurship and innovation. Some recent research show that collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking are the four skills acting as indispensable wheels on the exciting 21st century’ journey. The Y generation and digital natives are different in their learning style and the way in which they expect to be trained, and coached. By 2020, the share of Serbian Y generation among working population will be more than 50%, according to the estimates of the Republic Statistical Office. The paper would represent results of the research conducted among Serbian millennials regarding their style of learning and behavior, and attitudes toward collaborative and interactive learning.
