"Extending trust is the ultimate act of leadership, the defining skill that transforms a manager into a leader."
- Stephen M. R. Covey
Why Trust?
Are you able to engage those in your unit with compassion, gratitude, and support to build trust in your unit so that everyone will rally around each other and you, to achieve your agreed-upon goals? Do you know how to build the trust necessary to propel your unit forward? Trust is not merely a soft, social virtue; instead, trust is a pragmatic, hard-edged, economic, and actionable asset that you can create.
Trust is critical to getting things done; it is the one thing that changes everything. Without it, people are suspicious; everything takes longer. If you have credibility and have built a culture of trust, you will manage change better and create a group of colleagues who can work together to become more agile, collaborative, innovative, and engaged.
