How To Mitigate Leadership Fatigue And Build A Unified Workforce
Dave Barnett is Chief Administrative Officer of DeVry University. According to Gartner's 2025 report on HR's top trends, culture ranks as the second most-critical HR priority. In times of change or crisis, a strong and unified workforce serves as a stabilizing force. When employees see others, especially leaders, upholding company values, they feel a sense of clarity and comfort. So, they're more likely to remain engaged and committed, which makes the entire organization more resilient. This means it's crucial that HR leaders ensure organizational values and beliefs guide decision-making and communication at all times. However, fostering company culture is becoming a growing challenge because leadership fatigue has created dwindling support. Nearly 60% of HR leaders feel managers fail to enforce the desired culture within teams, and 53% report that "leaders don't feel accountable for [it]The Impact Of Leadership Indifference On Culture To understand the weight of this challenge, we must first understand the impact of leadership indifference toward culture. At its core, culture is an organization's backbone because it defines how people should collaborate, innovate and work together toward shared goals. It creates a true north while crossing choppy waters, and leadership is its steward. Leaders who cultivate an environment of mindfulness and emotional intelligence are best equipped to help their organizations adapt and thrive. By being fully present and responding with empathy and clarity, they can create positive experiences of change. Their ability to lead with compassion and wisdom is what organizations need to succeed during times of transformation. However, between how rapidly things are changing all around us and increasing demands to demonstrate growth, many leaders are committing less to upholding the company culture. They see it as a soft concept that's disconnected from the tangible outcomes of business strategy. When culture is treated as secondary to financial or operational targets, it's easy for leaders to neglect it instead of using values to give employees a sense of consistency. A lack of personal investment is another source of fatigue. Organizational culture requires a shift in both behavior and mindset, so leaders who don't connect with the company's values are less likely to reflect them in their actions. This lack of motivation is further exacerbated by an increasing emphasis on short-term results, which can overshadow the cultural 'how' of achieving those results. When leadership fails to align its behavior with these values, it creates a disconnect where culture becomes merely words on a wall. As employees notice the disparity between what is said and what is done, they begin to disengage and even express dissatisfaction with the company's culture. This can lead to high turnover, low morale and a lack of productivity. Poor communication, unclear expectations and leaders not taking responsibility for how their actions affect the culture set the stage for organizations to struggle with adaptation, talent retention and business performance. Restore Passion And Responsibility By Addressing Fatigue So, how can HR leaders tackle this issue? The solution lies in involving leaders at all levels in conversations about the importance of culture and its role as a key enabler of business success. It's important that they understand their responsibility in fostering a unified environment. A critical step is setting clear expectations. Communicate that leaders must embody company values in every interaction because their actions cement the culture for employees. Then activate those leaders in delivering the message broadly within the organization. Equally important is embedding a culture of accountability into leadership performance metrics and incentives. Leaders should be accountable not only for financial goals but also for cultivating a work environment that supports company values. So, align performance management systems and rewards and recognition programs with the desired culture. Use executive storytelling to reinforce company values. Real examples of employees who embody the ideal behaviors can inspire a collective pride and deepen cultural engagement. Additionally, a system of shared accountability ensures that while leadership sets the tone, every employee plays a role in upholding organizational values through clear expectations and continuous feedback. Leading Through Change And Crisis There's no doubt leadership fatigue toward managing culture can erode an organization's sense of identity, hinder growth and breed disengagement. To overcome this, HR leaders must elevate culture building as a strategic priority that's deeply intertwined with business goals. Through fostering ownership, accountability and authentic leadership, HR can create a unified workforce that not only understands the company's values but actively lives them. With engaged leaders who model cultural expectations and employees who feel empowered to uphold them, organizations can build a culture that drives lasting success.
