ELEVATE YOUR LEADERSHIP GAME WITH CREDIBILITY

When I present our Emotional Intelligence programs, I ask attendees to answer this question:

Over the years, I’ve seen dozens of different answers but I’ve been able to narrow it down to a short list. What people most look for in a leader has been consistent over time.

Through my research and observation, there is a consistent pattern across countries, cultures, ethnicities, gender, education, and age groups.
When you put it all together, you’ll find that
CREDIBILITY is the foundation of leadership.
When people perceive their leader to have low credibility, they:
  • Produce only when supervised
  • Are only financially motivated
  • Look for other jobs
  • Are critical in private, more likely to resort to passive-aggressive behavior
  • Feel unsupported and unappreciated
When people perceive their leader to have high credibility, they’re significantly more likely to:
  • Be proud to tell others about the organization they’re a part of
  • Feel strong and empowered with a sense of team spirit
  • See their own personal value as a significant part of the organization’s success
  • Feel loyal and committed
  • Have a sense of ownership in their own contribution
Here’s to growing your leadership through credibility!
