Business Leadership: How Much is in Your Credibility Bank Account?
Business leaders have more than a title on their doors. They also have the trust and confidence of those who work for them; who work with them; and who buy from them. Each leader begins with credits in his Credibility Bank Account. That amount varies based on the leader's qualifications, reputation and personal style. Every day, deposits (positive experiences) and withdrawals (disappointments) are made into this account. Do you know how to manage their credibility account - Your workplace and marketplace relationships? Here are 10 strategies to build your worth. Know thyself and others. Attend to the little things. Clarify expectations. Have a strong, not a big, ego. Avoid the blame game. Apologize sincerely. Be consistent. Do what you say you're going to do. Pass the Carl Sandburg test. Periodically do a credibility check.
