The Elements of Trust

What makes a leader trustworthy in the eyes of their people? In this lesson, we'll talk about the components that make up trust.
Building and Maintaining Trust Course - Lesson Excerpt

It's simple. Without the trust of the people in their charge, leaders cannot lead.

The Elements of Trust

A reliable leader is someone who: Select all correct answers.

Perceived Commonality "Do we hold similar values and beliefs?" "Do we have a similar approach to work?" "Do we support similar policies and practices, and maybe even have similar hobbies outside of work?" Though we don't need to agree on every single thing, we are more comfortable trusting people we can relate to since we find them to be more authentic.

Building Trust in a Blended Workforce

More and more companies are hiring a combination of internal (on-site) and external (off-site) employees to run daily operations. Here's how you can build trust as a leader in a blended work environment.

Be worthy of trust.

Building Trust in a Blended Workforce

If you demonstrate integrity, your leadership will be respected by both on-site and off-site employees.

Maintaining Trust as a Leader

Building and Maintaining Trust Course - Lesson Excerpt

Stay accessible.

Maintaining Trust as a Leader

This is especially important in times of crisis such as when the COVID-19 pandemic rendered millions of people either jobless or fearing for their livelihood.

Maintaining Trust as a Leader

Speak a common language. Even if you take the time to engage with your people, it won’t make any difference if all of your conversations are filled with jargon and commentary on graphs and charts. Remember, not everyone is privy to the same knowledge and information as you are. Whether you’re trying to connect at a personal level, or you’re trying to explain something work-related, avoid jargon and speak plainly when trying to communicate.

During town halls, Q and As, or even just informal banter, be comfortable admitting that you don’t know the answer to every question, but you will do your best to find out ASAP.

Maintaining Trust as a Leader

From an employee’s perspective, an authentic leader is easier to support and empathize with compared to someone who seems to know all the answers and is never wrong.
