Further analysis of the research shows that there are six essential components to ‘inspirational leadership’. Leaders who have them:
Genuinely care about their people, and demonstrate that clearly
Involve everybody
Show appreciation
Ensure that, as far as possible, work is fun and made meaningful
Show real trust and demonstrate their own trustworthiness
Listen.
Based on these findings, we can develop a basic ‘3T’ model: Talk – listen and keep in touch. Trust – show trust in people and demonstrate your own trustworthiness. Thank – show thanks and appreciation.
