They don’t feel the need to watch them like a hawk, micromanage them in their tasks, track every move they make, or enact rules or policies that make them feel constrained and under surveillance. Those steps are taken by leaders who lead through fear, creating the kind of culture that is marked by terror, timidity, and low morale.
