What do employees really want from company leaders? The answer may surprise you — and, more important, may prompt you to change some of your practices. “I don’t think the people who work for you want you to be an optimist anymore,” says GE CEO Jeff Immelt. “They want you to be realistic. They don’t want hollow promises, they want action: What’s your plan, and how are you going to solve problems?” The hallmarks of what Immelt calls “positive leadership” are authenticity, transparent communication, a focus on the future, and the ability to solve problems and take action.

Recent management studies support the idea that workers respond best not to cheerleading or a continuous stream of happy talk, but to evidence of a strong connection between words and deeds. Employees are much more likely to trust their immediate supervisors than top corporate executives, according to global consulting firm Blessing White. Why? Because employees can match what managers say with what they do. That’s more difficult to do given the layers of management that may separate them from top leaders, which makes it imperative that top leaders spell out specific actions the company will take, explain why, and offer proof that such actions have been taken.

So, what’s the difference between productive and unproductive givers? The difference, according to Grant, is that successful givers surround themselves primarily with other givers; they give in ways that increase social bonds; and they really invest in others in ways that actually make a difference—making their contributions more gratifying.

The truth of the matter is doing all the recommend things on the list is hard. That is why some companies are great, some average and some horrible. Some are just better at the items on list then others. The trick is not to do all of these items well as a leader but building a foundation based on culure and empowering your whole team to be part of the communication and recognition solution.

Frank Sonnenberg writes I a clear explanation of the values structure of a strong trust system. Compassion, as an ethic of care, is another value that I believe should be be added to this list. In a caring relationship, the needs and wants of another, not some per-established ideal, are taken into consideration. Naturally, we trust more when we know that we are cared for.
