Building trust matters in all aspects of leadership, whether at the office, with your family, at church, in the community or anywhere else.
The “why” is obvious. People need to trust you before they feel comfortable acting on what you say.
The “how” is a little more complex. Everyone knows that you need to be honest to be considered trustworthy. Reliability and consistency are also crucial factors. But then what?
Throughout my career in financial services and experience leading mission trips, I’ve found that there are several characteristics that can help you become not only trusted, but indispensable. Again, this applies not only to work, but also to all other aspects of your life.
People are more willing to invest their time and talents in causes when they believe that the leaders are trustworthy. High trust levels lead to a greater sense of self responsibility, greater interpersonal insight and more collective action toward achieving common goals. Developing the characteristics above will help you—and your team—get the results you’re looking for.
