Are you raising your trust quotient?
A consistent outcome from many large employee surveys tells us that business leaders are among the least trusted professions in today’s culture. Overall, trust in leadership is the main employee concern in the workplace.
Trust has long been considered a powerful trait that enables leaders to succeed. People who trust their leader are willing to follow them. They are more willing to engage their duties, make strong efforts to benefit their organization, prize the quality of their work, and feel like their efforts have value. Conversely, a leader who is not trusted can never overcome large, inevitable pitfalls.
Trust is a decisive difference maker in personal and collective prosperity, so it makes sense for leaders to raise their trust quotient as high as possible.
Why don’t more leaders pursue this?
They may not grasp its gravity, or they may not understand (or practice) these four basic elements.
This article explores research on trust in leadership, the mindset needed to establish trust, and suggests ways leaders can raise their trust quotient and build trust in organizations.
