  • Training Leaders to Be More Authentic: How It Affects Trust, Job Satisfaction, and Commitment in Healthcare Teams

    Our recent study shows that when hospital supervisors are trained in authentic leadership—leading with honesty, openness, and care—employees report higher trust in their leaders

    💡 Trust matters: it creates stronger teams, smoother collaboration, and better support for new staff.
