Today’s leaders face profound and complex challenges, such as climate change, conflict and artificial intelligence, and must make decisions that affect the lives of their followers. In this changing world, it is crucial for leaders to understand the reasons people follow them.
Gallup’s latest study, based on surveys conducted in 52 countries, builds on decades of our research into what people need from their leaders. More than anything, the data confirm that followers need a sense of hope from their leaders. Trust is the second most important need, followed by compassion, then stability. These four needs are consistent, irrespective of country, demographics or the type of leader in question. These needs are also linked to wellbeing: The more needs leaders meet, the more suffering is reduced.
