The leader creates harmony and builds emotional bonds, in a phrase people come first: putting the person before the task, praising, building loyalty; it rests on empathy, building relationships and communication. It fits healing rifts in a team, motivating during stressful times or strengthening connections. Its climate effect is positive across all six drivers (flexibility .27, standards .31, rewards .48, clarity .37, commitment .34), but used alone its focus on praise lets poor performance go uncorrected and its leaders rarely give the directional advice people need, so it pairs with the authoritative style.
