What Do People Want from Their Leaders?

As a leader, your team is looking to you.

But with so many competing demands, it can be hard to know where to focus. What truly matters when it comes to leading and engaging your team?

At the heart of it all, people are looking for Clarity, Connection, Capability, and Choice. These aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the foundations of meaningful leadership.

Here’s a thought: how do you rate yourself on these four areas, out of five?

1. Clarity: Are your expectations and priorities clear, even in uncertainty?
2. Connection: Do your team members feel seen, heard, and valued?
3. Capability: Are you equipping your team with the skills and confidence to grow and succeed?
4. Choice: Are you empowering your team with autonomy and ownership in their work?

Most leaders excel in some areas and have room to grow in others. What will you focus on to better meet your team’s needs?
