Episode 93: How Leaders Generate Energy

Key Learnings

• To discover these energizing capabilities, we analyzed data from direct reports of 73,503 leaders. In addition to the 60 measured behaviors, each direct report was asked about the extent to which they agreed with the following statement, “My work environment is a place where people want to go the extra mile.”
• When it comes to igniting energy, the number one way to inspire is to help others discover what opportunities exist for their growth.
• Leaders set the tone and create the conditions for teamwork and relationships to flourish or fail.

• .Our research shows that increasing trust magnifies every other leadership competency. We also discovered that without trust, everything slows down. Trust reduces friction in the organization.
