Success Thought of the Day – 4/14/21

Trust is like the air we breathe. When it is present, nobody really notices. But when it’s absent, everybody notices.  - Warren Buffet

As a leader, think about what the air of trust feels like in your organization. If you want to do a litmus test, self-check these two items.

People want to trust that they are working on important things. To be true, people need a clear purpose, mission and vision, and aligned goals. Further, they need resources and to be empowered to do the job.

People want to trust that they can be authentic at work. For that to be true, you must create and nurture a culture where psychological safety exists. In short, an environment for risk-taking that supports change without fear of negative consequences to self-image, status, or career.

If you can check “affirmative” on both of those, you are well on your way!
