Managing by fear, managing by trust

Workplace stress is a common challenge, and when employees say, “My manager is stressing me out,” it often signals deeper issues in leadership styles that affect the entire organisation. Fear-based management, where leaders operate from a place of control and anxiety, doesn’t just harm employee wellbeing, it also impacts productivity and drives up sickness absence levels.At Verve Healthcare, we believe that workplace wellbeing is not just the right thing to do, it also makes good business sense. In this episode of our Unlocking Workplace Wellbeing podcast, Verve CEO Steven Pink spoke with leadership coach Mariann Marthinussen about how managers can shift from fear-based leadership to trust-based leadership.
