Inc.com — Culture is a powerful employee retention strategy as the Great Resignation rolls on. It's accurate to say that we will continue to see quiet quitters and similar trends of disengaged workers for years to come. So, what exactly do employees want from their leaders the most?

Researchers found that no other leadership behavior had a bigger effect on employees than respect.
