ABSTRACT
In a 2017 survey, 62 per cent of organisations were facing significant amounts of change. This level will clearly have risen since Covid-19. Psychologists have an understanding about some of the characteristics that allow leaders to remain resilient and engaged, even in the face of substantial change. This study takes the next step. It examined the characteristics of leaders that allow them to provide their teams with a positive work environment in order to keep them engaged. Different work environments, including those involving significant change, were studied. A number of traits and learning agilities were identified that were important. However, it emerged that using coaching as a leadership style is one of the most effective things a leader can do to build team commitment.
