The Neuroscience of Trust
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=105837&nl=daily
are twisting themselves into knots to empower and challenge their
employees. They’re anxious about the sad state of engagement, and
rightly so, given the value they’re losing. Consider Gallup’s
meta-analysis of decades’ worth of data: It shows that high
engagement—defined largely as having a strong connection with
one’s work and colleagues, feeling like a real contributor, and
enjoying ample chances to learn—consistently leads to positive
outcomes for both individuals and organizations. The rewards include
higher productivity, better-quality products, and increased
profitability.

Although the rigid, command-and-control style of leadership has
largely been replaced by more collaborative approaches, structures and
processes remain essential, particularly in large, highly matrixed
organizations where a lack of alignment can impact far more than just
personal credibility. When team members bypass the chain of command,
it presents an opportunity for leaders to evaluate and strengthen
their teams alignment. By addressing employee bypassing behaviors with
empathy, clarity, and consistency, leaders can strengthen
accountability and cohesion while emphasizing the importance of
organizational structure. Ultimately, this proactive leadership
approach fosters a collaborative, empowered, and high-performing team
that remains aligned with the organizations mission and goals.
