This phenomenological hermeneutic qualitative study explored how leadership is lived and perceived across three Hmong generations in the United States. This study attempted to identify attributes, characteristics, traits, and behaviors that made up a successful intergenerational Hmong leader. Twelve Hmong participants were selected from the state of Minnesota using a purposeful criterion and snowball sampling technique. All twelve participants were interviewed using a semi-structured interviewing format. van Manen’s six parts process and the hermeneutic circle were employed to collect, analyze and interpret the interview data, and develop themes. Findings indicate that in order for a Hmong leader to successfully lead across generations of Hmong people, one needs to be a person of good character and a skilled communicator. In addition, having Hmong cultural values, practices, and ritual knowledge will also increase the likelihood of successful intergenerational leadership. The insights derived from this study can aid in understanding how one should lead as a leader within the Hmong community composed of many generations.
