Three factors enable leaders to drive change:
- The leader is perceived as genuine and credible, consistently demonstrating conviction and modelling values-based behaviors, while being positive, transparent and open to feedback.
- People trust that their leader has their back – that he or she understands what motivates and concerns them, and keeps this in mind when setting high, but realistic, expectations of them.
- People feel respected and appreciated for their contributions, driven by the leader’s confidence in them and gratitude for their commitment.
