• There are boss’ and then there are leaders. Leaders are vulnerable to another person in hopes that the recipient responds positively (Robbins & Judge, 2019). Once the recipient trusts the leader, they will be more likely to take risk, trust in the organization, trust their teams more, and enhances productivity (Robbins & Judge, 2019).
