The aim was to examinehow managers, based on similar education and policy background, perceive their leadership today, and how it according to them, maybe developed in the future. The sample consisted of younger and older managers within the same organization, with diverse experience in managementand leadership roles. Data were collected by two focus groups interviews and analyzed bya thematic analysis. The results indicated that managers, regardless of age and experience, have similar views on their management role and are in general positive regardingtheir leadership, despite stressand time pressure related issues. They have also suggested similar changes for future management and leadership roles. One such suggestion is that the organization must actively work to attract additional workers in the future, in order to meet increasing competitions against other employers. Competition between employers will increase for new employees who willmake greater demands on their employers interms of working conditions and benefits.
