Creating Leadership Trust that Inspires People

Leadership distrust is rampant today according to research.  This leadership trust training video will share the antidote to that.

For example, the US Congress is rated lower in trust than car salespeople. Only 15% of Americans feel our elected officials are doing a good job. Most employees don’t trust their leaders. As a result, business executives are rated in the bottom one third. Too many leaders don’t value employees based on how they treat them. Unfortunately, employees are often an afterthought. Products, the balance sheet and customers are the priority. Recently, GM and the union are at odds over healthcare and fair wages.  Therefore, the union went on strike. Trust is extremely low as the strike will cost both sides heavily.

The Payoff for Trust

Great companies and managers treat employees as their greatest resource. In other words, they respect them, treat them with care and as partners for success. Furthermore, it means the management has high expectations and standards. In addition, they invest in the team. For example, companies or managers provide many opportunities for training, and recognition. Certainly, these kinds of actions begin to create trust and come from a servant leader focus.
