they fail to inspire high performance and also fail to meet people’s needs fully → the
team will only deliver mediocre performance

This manager is mostly concerned with their team members' concerns and feelings.
They assume that, as long as their people are happy and secure, they’ll work hard

trust and respect, which leads to high satisfaction, motivation and excellent results.
