It is important for leaders to consider how their words and actions can be used to influence followers in a positive manner. This starts with understanding the emotional state of followers. Being aware of their own emotions and being able to recognize when followers are feeling an emotion such as stress or anxiety is key in order to craft effective messaging. Using subtle language cues and rhetorical devices, leaders can evoke strong emotions that influence their follower's behavior; however, this should be done sensitively, as too much influence can have negative consequences. By using ethos (credibility), pathos (emotional appeal) and logos (logical evidence) together in combination, it is possible for a leader’s message to reach its intended audience on a deeply emotional level, helping people become more compliant and devoted through trusting the leader's guidance.

As a leader, you can create a positive atmosphere that triggers positive emotional states in your followers. For example, by encouraging group bonding with activities such as team building exercises, you can create an atmosphere of shared goals and solidarity among your team. Additionally, using rhetorical devices and carefully chosen language to make subtle appeals to emotion, such as alliteration or word association in your presentation speeches or messages can trigger strong resonance in the listener's/reader's minds. This will help deepen the emotional bond between you and your followers.
