Gallup Finds Employees Who Trust Their Leadership Are Four Times As Likely To Be Engaged
To help leaders and managers more effectively lead their teams and organizations to greater success, Gallup annually measures US employees’ perceptions of their interactions with leaders and managers, as well as their experiences related to performance management in their organization.
In 2023, 23% of respondents agreed with the statement, ‘I trust the leadership of this organization’.
Gallup says this matters because by examining employee perceptions of leadership/management and how employees experience performance management in their organization, leaders discover opportunities to implement leadership best practices that can positively affect their organizational outcomes.

Question Of The Month
By Sean Hagger, Associate, Legitimate Leadership.
Question: How do you, and should you, adjust your leadership approach for different generations and different work ethics?
Answer: You adjust your leadership style to the person you are leading, full stop. If you have a genuine interest in them as a person then you will learn about who they are and what burns inside them. The generation they are from is irrelevant.
You may need to learn from them what their values are, but in my experience values don’t change a great deal from generation to generation, though they may be expressed differently – which makes it interesting.
Regarding work ethic, if you don’t have a good one, I will try and find one in you. If you don’t play ball then work somewhere else.

News: A New Edition Of The Legitimate Leadership Book
The first edition of the book which was written by Wendy Lambourne, founder of Legitimate Leadership, to fully describe the Legitimate Leadership model – itself called Legitimate Leadership – has been updated in a second edition – now called Legitimate Leadership In Action.
Although most of the content is fundamentally unchanged, the second edition update particularly contains the results of recent research which has confirmed the basic tenets of the framework. Those basic tenets were originally derived from research into what accounted for trust in management in South Africa’s gold-mining industry in the late 1980s.

Article: Gallup Finds Employees Who Trust Their Leadership Are Four Times As Likely To Be Engaged
By Gallup, Inc, an American multinational analytics and advisory company.
COMMENT BY WENDY LAMBOURNE ON THIS ARTICLE: The latest validation of the Legitimate Leadership principles comes from Gallup’s 2023 survey of employees’ perceptions of their interactions with their managers. Highlights were firstly the link between trust in leadership and employee engagement and retention. Secondly, the finding that a huge 70% in employee engagement is attributable to the manager-employee relationship. Finally, what is needed to enable managers to be coaches, not bosses – in Legitimate Leadership terms, care and growth of their people.
OUR SUMMARY OF THE GALLUP RESULTS: To help leaders and managers more effectively lead their teams and organizations to greater success, Gallup annually measures US employees’ perceptions of their interactions with leaders and managers, as well as their experiences related to performance management in their organization.
In 2023, 23% of respondents agreed with the statement, ‘I trust the leadership of this organization’.
