Trust As A Leadership Metric

<p>Can your team say no to you? How easy is it to connect with you? Are you a source of inspiration for your team? Do you trust your team members, and do they trust you? Answering these questions and more are a way of measuring your trust value.</p> <p>Today, I talk about why trust is a key value for your team and how to use it as a leadership metric. I note the importance and effect of saying what you mean and standing by it, and I discuss a leader’s need to welcome feedback. I talk about why the best way to get people to invest in you is to invest in them, and I explain the importance of letting your team know you value each member regardless of their title.</p> <p align="center"><em>“Never forget that your team members are always watching you, taking cues from you.
