Leadership and Trust
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the important relationship between leadership and employee trust. It reviews the literature on trust in the leader, and discusses work on mutual trust between leader and follower. Trust between leaders and followers is crucial in being able to exert this kind of influence efficiently and effectively without the need for coercion or constant close monitoring. Many different leader behaviours have been related directly to trust in the leader and to subsequent attitudinal and behavioural outcomes. Transformational and charismatic leadership are related, yet while attributions of charisma and the strongly related element of inspirational motivation through a communicated vision are central to both charismatic and transformational leadership, transformational leadership was originally conceptualized as being broader. Besides character and behaviour of the leader, individual differences as well as behaviour on the part of the follower may play a role in the development of trust between leaders and followers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
