You Either Build Trust, Or Destroy It
Becoming a more powerful leader can not solely be achieved through training, skill development, integrating a better coaching system, a better product or service, or even a better team of salespeople.
Becoming an invincible leader takes vulnerability. It requires you to become truly vulnerable. However, it’s important to keep in mind my definition of vulnerability, which I share below.
The number one issue within the workplace is lack of trust, specifically between management and staff.
A Maritz Poll states, “Only twelve percent of employees philippines telegram data strongly agree that their companies’ leaders are completely ethical and honest. Only seven percent strongly agree that the actions of senior leaders are completely consistent with their words.”
In every interaction; in every conversation; you are either building trust – or destroying it.
The cornerstone of any worthwhile relationship is trust. Trust is the mortar that binds any relationship. If diluted, it will affect the integrity of the relationship. Without trust, you have nothing to build upon that could be sustained over time.
And you are certainly not able to create a healthy coaching relationship without trust. Contrary to the opinion of some managers, there are no tools, incentives, compensation packages, or strategies that can overcome a lack of trust in any relationship.
The only way to build trust is to let go of your need to be perfect or indestructible. In other words, you must actually allow yourself to be vulnerable.
Embrace Your Humanity
Now, I am not suggesting that you should verbally share every thought that pops into your head, which could result in swift removal from your current position.
Without Trust, You Have Nothing
