Gallup research indicates that hope is the top quality people desire from their leaders, with 56% of respondents identifying it as essential. Trust follows at 33%, while compassion and stability are less prioritized. Senior leaders are more expected to provide hope compared to other managers or colleagues. Jim Harter emphasizes that hope is crucial for a sense of stability and positively influences followers' views of their futures. Additionally, hope is considered an active force in cultivating a positive workplace environment.
"I think that it's hard to have a sense of stability if you can't see the future. And I think that's why hope is so foundational."
"The people who felt that they had a leader who encouraged their development had a much more positive view of their standard of living and their future."
"Hope is active, not passive."
"When people have a concept of where they're headed, that's part of hope."
