Confidence in Leadership = Engagement

Some interesting new research shows that confidence in leadership is the #1 driver of engagement in 2025. But confidence isn’t about charisma—it’s about actions. What you say, how you say it, and how often you repeat your message. 

🔹 Vision: Do employees feel inspired by where the company is heading?

🔹 Integrity: Do leaders follow through on promises?

🔹 Communication: Are tough conversations handled with transparency?

🔹 People-First Mindset: Do employees feel valued beyond their output?

Too many leaders out there are doing great work but failing to communicate it. Employees don’t just want decisions—they want context. The more context you can give, the more likely it is employees will respond more positively to tough messages.

If you’re a leader, ask yourself: Do my employees trust me? If not, why?
