“…The purpose of this article is to examine and discuss general leadership behaviors and skills that leaders need to be successful and embrace generational diversity in the workplace. The article provides an interdisciplinary framework, Practice‐Immediacy Model (Bottomley & Burgess, ), to examine these leadership behaviors and skills with an emphasis on Millennials learning these skills while becoming leaders. The present article defines four generations and some of their characteristics in the workplace, the leadership behaviors and skills the authors propose that Millennials need to develop as they move into leadership roles and provides a discussion on what current senior leaders can do to develop Millennials for leadership roles.…”

The focus of traditional leadership expectations is the individual leader's developmental experience. However, Millennials are seeking to take on leadership roles more quickly than previous generations. The Practice-Immediacy Model provides a framework where Millennials can take on these leadership roles while continuing to develop their own behavior and skills. The present article expands on the four basic behavioral components of leadership-vision building, standard-bearing, integrating, and developing. The article then describes the associated specific skills within each behavioral component. Finally, the article proposes an interdisciplinary model that professionals can use to develop leadership skills for Millennials. K E Y W O R D S

Automation and digitalization in logistic processes nowadays increase the complexity of logistic systems (supply networks, terminals and warehouses) and leads to highly linked systems. Their dimensioning as well as start-up and optimization of operational processes require technical assistance today. Simulation is used for understanding the behaviour of the seaport terminal and analysing the interaction of the complex processes at the terminal. This paper will show an investigation of the usage of specific port terminal simulator in the education of logisticians at university. It will show the effects of using simulation within the lessons in respect to the understanding of port operation and port simulation.
