Leadership styles – How do they affect culture and job satisfaction?

Toxic workplaces often stem from inexperienced leaders. More rigorous recruitment and training is the answer, writes Shana Garioch.

Effective leadership styles play a crucial role in retaining talent within the workplace. When leadership changes occur, it brings a level of uncertainty which can often lead to feelings of stress and anxiety, playing a significant role in staff mental health and wellbeing.

While leadership transitions are a normal part of professional life, these feelings can affect job satisfaction and overall performance. The whole experience becomes more challenging when the change in leadership also impacts the company’s culture.
