Highlights recent US research that found that the majority of employees had little engagement with their employers. Examines the role of leadership in motivating employees and gaining their trust, again citing research that indicates that organizational leaders are currently failing to do this. Suggests that the current view of leadership no longer meets the needs of US organizations or their employees. Discusses the leadership behaviours that are currently needed and considers how these behaviours can be developed.ISSN:1535-7740Reference: 39AK003
