Perceived Commonality "Do we hold similar values and beliefs?" "Do we have a similar approach to work?"

Be worthy of trust.
Your words and actions as a leader shape your reputation, and having a good reputation is a prerequisite to being trustworthy.
If you demonstrate integrity, your leadership will be respected by both on-site and off-site employees.
Stay accessible.
This is especially important in times of crisis such as when the COVID-19 pandemic rendered millions of people either jobless or fearing for their livelihood.
Speak a common language. Even if you take the time to engage with your people, it won’t make any difference if all of your conversations are filled with jargon and commentary on graphs and charts. Remember, not everyone is privy to the same knowledge and information as you are. Whether you’re trying to connect at a personal level, or you’re trying to explain something work-related, avoid jargon and speak plainly when trying to communicate.
During town halls, Q and As, or even just informal banter, be comfortable admitting that you don’t know the answer to every question, but you will do your best to find out ASAP.
From an employee’s perspective, an authentic leader is easier to support and empathize with compared to someone who seems to know all the answers and is never wrong.
