Senior Leadership's Influence
“ Trust in executives can have more than twice the impact onengagement levels than trust in immediate managers does. However,consistent with past studies, employees are more likely to trust theirimmediate managers than the executives in their organization.”
“As an executive, you have significant impact on the engagementlevels of people you rarely see – or may have never met. You need tospeak with passion about engagement and business results, but if youdon’t have the trust of the workforce your message will be lost or twisted.Communication needs to be a priority – in frequency, appropriateness,and depth (the “what” and “why”). You also must be diligent in holdingyourself and your peers accountable for building a culture that fuelshigh performance and engagement.”
