Leadership and Trust
”Trust each other again and again. When the trust level gets high enough, people transcend apparent limits, discovering new and awesome abilities for which they were previously unaware.” --David Armistead
How strong is the level of trust in your organization? Do your employees trust you? The level of trust has a great impact on individual and organizational effectiveness.
The ability to establish a high level of trust is vital to leadership effectiveness. According to the authors of Building the High-Trust Organization, there are five dimensions of trust – “competence, openness/honesty, concern for employees, reliability, and identification.”
Statistics about Trust

Nineteen per cent of employees “rarely” trust their managers to make the best decisions, and as many as 57 per cent say they only “occasionally” trust their managers, according to a recent survey by Right Management.

Employees’ confidence in the CEO’s ability to do their job is the most important factor in breeding trust among the workforce. Almost as important is the CEO’s ability to demonstrate a strong sense of personal integrity. This quality is the foundation of trust and grows in importance with seniority. Leadership Trust Index
