6 – THE LAW OF SOLID GROUND

Trust Is the Foundation of Leadership

 

 

 

When it comes to leadership, you just can’t take shortcuts, no matter how long you’ve been leading your people.

To build trust, a leader must exemplify competence, connection, and character.

Character makes trust possible. And trust makes leadership possible. That is the Law of Solid Ground.

No man can climb out beyond the limitations of his own character – John Morley

How do leaders earn respect? By making sound decisions, admitting their mistakes, and putting what’s best for their followers and the organization ahead of their personal agendas.

The only thing that walks back from the bomb with the mourners and refuses to be buried is the character of a man. This is true. What a man survives him. It can never be buried. – J.R. Miller
