Are you a credible leader?
|
Credibility is the foundation of leadership.
|
It is very important for leaders to have a high level of credibility, the quality of being believable or worthy of trust. It is a vital element of effective leadership.
What makes a leader credible?
A credible leader is one who relies on honesty and does not lie. If you are dishonest, you lose trust; and if you lose trust, you lose respect. Then sooner or later everything falls apart. Credibiltiy is built over long periods of time but can be lost in a moment.
You must build your credibility. Consider this your number one priority and promise yourself you will never get caught in a situation that forces you to compromise your credibility.
Let's face it...
if people don't believe what you say, nothing else matters.
Be honest with others and you will better serve yourself and your chapter in the long run. Your credibility is
based on your words and actions. If you are a leader that says you will help out but never do, your credibility will suffer. Walk the talk is a cliché, but it is critical.
Never forget that leaders make an indelible imprint in the lives of those they lead, either positive or negative. That is a BIG responsibility!
