Join me below for DAY SIX - LEADERSHIP NUGGETS:
C6 - THE LAW OF SOLID GROUND
Trust Is The Foundation of Leadership
IT WASN’T THE DECISIONS - IT WAS THE LEADERSHIP
Not taking everyone through deliberate steps to process change can prove catastrophic.
Gather leaders
Cast vision for leaders
Answer questions
Guide them through issues
Give them time to exert influence with the next level of leadership
When the timing is right, make a general announcement to all letting them know about the decisions, giving plenty of reassurance and encouraging them to be a part of the new vision.
RESULT OF NOT FOLLOWING ESTABLISHED PROTOCOL - MISTRUST
Your people know when you make mistakes.
If you 'fess up quickly, you can often regain their trust.
When it comes to leadership, you just can't take shortcuts no matter how long you've been leading your people.
A leader's history of successes and failures make a big difference in his credibility.
It's a little like spending pocket change.
Each time you make a good decision, it puts change into your pocket.
Each time you make a poor decision, you have to pay out some of your change to people.
Every leader has a certain amount of change in his pocket when he starts in a new leadership position.
From then on he builds up his change or pays it out.
If he makes one bad decision after another, he keeps paying out change.
After making one final bad decision, he will reach into his pocket and realize he is out of change.
It doesn't matter if the blunder is big or small.
When you are out of change, you are out as a leader.
A leader who keeps making good decisions and keeps recording wins for the organization builds up his change.
Even if he makes a huge blunder, he can still have plenty of change left over.
TRUST IS THE FOUNDATION OF LEADERSHIP
Trust Is the foundation of leadership.
To build trust, a leader must exemplify these qualities:
Competence
Connection
Character
People will forgive occasional mistakes based on ability, especially if they can see that you're still growing as a leader, but they won't trust someone who has slips in character.
Craig Weatherup, PepsiCO CEO and Chairman acknowledges,
"People will tolerate honest mistakes, but if you violate their trust you will find it very difficult to ever regain their confidence. That is one reason that you need to treat trust as your most precious asset. You may fool your boss but you can never fool your colleagues or subordinates."
General H. Norman Schwarzkopf points to the significance of character:
"Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without strategy."
Anthony Harrigan, president of the U.S. Business and Industrial Council said,
"The role of character has always been the key factor in the rise and fall of nations. And one can be sure that America is no exception to this rule of history. We won't survive as a country because we are smarter or more sophisticated but because we are-we hope-stronger inwardly. In short, character is the only effective bulwark against internal and external forces that lead to a country's disintegration or collapse."
Character makes trust possible.
Trust makes leadership possible.
That is the Law of Solid Ground.
CHARACTER COMMUNICATES
Whenever you lead people, it's as if they consent to take a journey with you.
The way the trip turns out depends on your character.
With good character, the longer the trip is and the better it seems.
With flawed character, the longer the trip is, the worse it gets.
No one enjoys spending time with someone he doesn't trust.
Character communicates many things to followers:
CHARACTER COMMUNICATES CONSISTENCY
Leaders without inner strength can't be counted on day after day because their ability to perform changes constantly.
Jerry West, NBA Great commented,
"You can't get too much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good."
If your people don't know what to expect from you as a leader, at some point they won't look to you for leadership.
CHARACTER COMMUNICATES POTENTIAL
John Morley observed,
"No man can climb out beyond the limits of his own character. "
Craig Weatherup explains,
"You don't build trust by talking about it. You build it by achieving results. Always with integrity and in a manner that shows real personal regard for people with whom you work."
When a leader's character is strong, people trust him, and they trust in his ability to release their potential.
It gives followers hope for the future.
It promotes a strong belief in themselves and their organization.
QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION

As a leader, can those who follow you trust you to complete what you start? Please share an example?
Are you a consistent and reliable leader?
When you mess up are you quick to ‘fess up?
