Discover the key trends and implications of leadership proximity in European workplaces.
What
"Leadership in focus" is a three-part series in which we utilise new data from the European Workforce Study (EWS) to delve into three hot topics and help you maximise the potential of your people.
Our second mini paper focuses on "Proximity Leadership". This paper is a part of our ongoing efforts to understand and improve workplace culture across Europe, with a special focus on Belgium. Based on the comprehensive European Workforce Study 2025, this mini paper delves into the trends and implications of proximity leadership, offering valuable insights and actionable recommendations for leaders and organisations.
Our findings revealed key insights regarding the current state of proximity leadership within the region. Countries where leaders are more closely connected with their teams are reaping the benefits of a more engaged workforce and higher levels of trust between managers and employees. In striking the right balance between closeness and distance (both physically and emotionally), proximate leaders are able to maintain the perspective needed for successful leadership.
