Integrity

Honesty

There are THREE important qualities a Leader to possess -  By upholding Integrity, Undergoing Humility and by facing Vulnerability. The reward for this is earning TRUST.

Leaders often feel that in order to assert their authority and manage their team, they have to remain work-focused, distant and professional at all times. It leads to a disconnection with the team and leave them believing you are unapproachable. This will not build TRUST.

Oneness should reflect in all his thinking, wording and acting to uphold his/her integrity. If not, self-doubt; self-judgment and low self-esteem results.

Ones capacity to recognize own shortcomings/mistakes by genuinely seeking and listening to feedback on these and learn from them is undergoing humility. If not, most important voice remains but that carries no trust.

Choose to expose ones weaknesses as much as strengths; mistakes as much as triumphs and shortcomings as much as powerful qualities is vulnerability. In simple form to say is When one is naked in front of the team - feel vulnerable. But one choose to become vulnerable in front of direct reports because the rewards one is aiming for are huge – TRUST.
