Many ideologies and disciplines have noticed and jotted that the most crucial keys to effective Leadership in an organization or working circumstance are:
-Trust and confidence in top leadership was the single most reliable predictor of employee satisfaction in an organization, and
-Effective communication by leadership in three critical areas was the key to winning organizational trust and confidence:
1. Helping employees understand the company’s overall business strategy.
2. Helping employees understand how they contribute to achieving key business objectives.
3. Sharing information with employees on both how the company is doing and how an employee’s own division is doing – relative to strategic business objectives.
That is simply, right? But be mindful to apply them with all of our hearts or else we never get the satisfaction. Hence, we must be trustworthy and have to be able to communicate a vision of where the organization needs to go.

I believe that trust plays a large role in leadership especially with the current economic outlook. One other thing you did not touch on was presence. I believe that a leader should have a certain presence and be respected by other employees.
Many of the top leaders within my company have an advsnced degree, whether it is MBA or MS. Do you think that for a large organization that makes other consider you a leader?
That's interesting. I would say effective communication is absolutely crucial.
