In this episode we will focus upon:
The Law of Solid Ground – Trust is the foundation of leadership
- How important is trust for a leader? It is the most important thing! TRUST is the foundation of leadership. It is the glue that holds organizations together. Leaders cannot repeatedly break trust with people and yet influence them at the same time.
3 Truths That Character Communicates
- Character Communicates Consistency
- Character Communicates Potential
- Character Communicates Respect
The only thing that walks back from the tomb with the mourners and refuses to be buried is the character of a man. What a man is survives him and it cannot be buried – J.R. Miller
The Law of Respect – People naturally follow leaders stronger than themselves
- This is not a guessing game – people do not follow others by accident. People follow other leaders whom they respect. We simply tend to follow other leaders that are better than ourselves – that is the Law of Respect!
- Dennis Peer states, “One measure of leadership is the caliber of people who choose to follow you.”. The second thing you should do is to see how your people respond when you ask for commitment or change.
- When leaders are not respected and they ask for commitment or change, people will doubt and question the rationale and make excuses or simply walk away.
