Can your team say no to you? How easy is it to connect with you? Are you a source of inspiration for your team? Do you trust your team members, and do they trust you? Answering these questions and more are a way of measuring your trust value.
Today, I talk about why trust is a key value for your team and how to use it as a leadership metric. I note the importance and effect of saying what you mean and standing by it, and I discuss a leader’s need to welcome feedback. I talk about why the best way to get people to invest in you is to invest in them, and I explain the importance of letting your team know you value each member regardless of their title.
“Never forget that your team members are always watching you, taking cues from you. Take the opportunity to show them what trust in others really looks like.”

“A culture of trust is built by…leaders always saying what they mean and standing by it. In this kind of environment, people will follow such leaders to the moon and back based on their word alone.”
