In this new episode #71, I want to share the real difference between fear-based leadership and trust-based leadership, and why this one shift can completely transform the performance of your remote team. 

After digging into the research on what truly makes a great boss, I break down the actual behaviors that create fear… versus the ones that unlock psychological safety, innovation, and high performance. Trust-based leadership isn't about being "nice." It's tactical, measurable, and something any leader can build, especially in a world where employees are hiding their use of AI and company cultures feel more fragile than ever. 

Takeaways: 

Being a good boss is tactical, not abstract. 

Trust in leadership leads to higher performance. 

Fear-based leadership stifles innovation and collaboration. 

Flexibility in goals is crucial for effective leadership. 

Dependability builds trust among team members. 

Optimizing for team needs enhances collaboration. 

Leadership skills can be developed and improved. 

Reflecting on one's leadership style is essential for growth.
