11 Dec Leadership Nudge® 287 – Transparency Builds Trust

When you speak your intentions out loud, you allow others insight into your thought process. Build trustThe feeling that we are aligned in our goals and that you say what you mean. Trust does not include the idea of competence. We would not say “I trust you to make that decision” because that includes the competence to make the decision in addition to desire to make the right decision. This pollutes the concept of trust. The equation for trust is transparency over time. by giving your team and your leader an opportunity to see what you see.
