Credibility is built. Credibility can be between two people or groups of people. What is your professional BRAND? Your Brand will involve credibility… or lack thereof.
Credibility goes hand-in-hand with trust. Everything that we do in today’s world-both professional and personal- involves a great deal of trust and credibility. Remember… you only have one chance to make a good first impression. And many times that first impression is what establishes credibility- or establishes a “lack of credibility.”

This economy may no longer be considered the “downturn” in the economy. It may actually be the “new” economy. In other words… the excess buying, spending, traveling, and business of the past may be history. This may hold true for businesses as well as individuals.
We will all need to do and accomplish more with less: Continue reading ‘Is the Downturn the New Turn?’ »

We have looked at the importance of trust in our working relationships this week, as well as ways to build and rebuild trust once it has been damaged or lost. Honesty and Truth are facets of moral character that also include virtues such as integrity and truthfulness. Opposite of these values are the actions of lying, cheating, and stealing.
Honesty and truthfulness are considered to be the most important elements of trust. Truth is universally respected by even the untruthful! When a person tells a lie he will protest that he is telling the truth, an admission to self that “Honesty is King”. Lying is also considered to be cowardly. It has been said, “that truth, alone, may not constitute a great man, but it is the most important element of great character.” Continue reading ‘Final Thoughts on Trust: Truth…Truthful…Truthiness’ »

Why it is Important to Build and Rebuild Trust
As noted in earlier blogs, trust is paramount to healthy working relationships, effective communication, increased productivity, and YES… a healthy bottom-line!
Conflict is a natural part of our human existence. Differing opinions, values, and habits make conflict inevitable. The importance of resolving conflict while maintaining trust cannot be overstated. Eight ways to minimize the conflict that destroys trust or to rebuild trust once it has been damaged are shown below: Continue reading ‘Has Trust Been Lost in Your Working Relationships?’ »

Trust is the basic foundation for healthy relationships, effective communication, retention and motivation of employees, and most importantly… is the catalyst for the discretionary energy that employees put forth in their work. Discretionary energy is the extra effort and passion that employees voluntarily invest in their work…even when no one is looking.
Productivity and financial success comes easily to a company when there is a strong foundation of trust. The importance of trust has been taught and written about for ages. Aristotle wrote of the importance of “ethos” in his work, the Rhetoric. He defined ethos as the level of trust held by the listener for the speaker. The three characteristics that we looked at in a blog earlier this week came from Aristotle’s Rhetoric. They are: Ability, Integrity, and Goodwill/Benevolence.
Having trust in the workplace allows for increased cooperation, creativity, confidence, and communication… all very important to the success of your business!
“The glue that holds all relationships together…including the relationship between the leader and the led is trust, and trust is based on integrity.”
Brian Tracy

Trust is defined as the assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something; one in which confidence is placed. Simply stated, trust can be regarded as an expectancy that a person or a thing can be relied upon.
Many psychologists believe that certain people have a higher ability to trust than others. On the flip side of this equation is the belief that yet other people have a lesser ingrained ability to trust; thought to be a function of the level that trust has been honored in that individual’s culture, family unit, or previous social interactions.
Trust is often observed in three primary behavioral areas:

When you stop and think about the term “Servant Leader”, it really does appear to be a paradox. From our conceptual understanding of language, we are led to think of a servant as one who is “serving” and a leader as the one who is in “power.” The two words together seem to cancel each other. They are a paradox… the appearance of perfect contradiction.
In reality, the term Servant Leader is a leadership style that emphasizes trust, integrity, communication, and the ethical use of power. This leadership style comes from both intrinsic traits as well as learned skills and is viewed as a life-long process of being, learning, and doing. And while at first glance servant leadership appears to be paradoxical, it is the true essence of leadership. Continue reading ‘Servant Leader: Is that a Paradox?’ »
