IS TRUST A QUALITY OF A LEADER OR A PRODUCT OF LEADERSHIP??

   
"Trust me!?"

How often have you heard this? How often have you been asked this question? How often have YOU asked the question?




Some people believe that trust is a competency, an individual talent, that people are born with. 


 
Some people may even label and categorize others as trustworthy based on their "ethnicity.





I do not see "Trust" as a competency. Trust is something that has to be earned.



Managing the trust that one has earned is the COMPETENCY.

Trust is a very fragile, delicate, asset that must be nurtured and protected. 




It is also the most valuable asset a person or organization can possess.

 
But reality and life is a matter of survival


  
These can test one's ability to manage the trust that others have deposited in your account. 



Sometimes you have to spend or risk some of that trust in order to survive.


 
The leader is one who is competent 
in the skills required to manage his/her 
TRUST ASSETS


ARE YOU A LEADER?
