Social skills key to effective leadership and trust in the workplace

Paper Summary

The article explores how social skills can influence transformational leadership in the workplace. The researchers studied managers and their direct reports in a utilities company to see how social skills relate to leadership effectiveness and trust. They found that social skills were linked to transformational leadership, but leaders tended to overestimate their own leadership abilities. Despite some mixed results, the researchers suggest that further research on the connection between social skills and leadership could be valuable.
