Here’s one to reflect on . . .

Tom Peters in The Brand You50 (published in 1999, still going strong), suggests that credibility is a leader’s most prized resource.  He says:

“Ask yourself . . . mercilessly: do I exude trust?”

“What have you done specifically in the last 24 hours to enhance your image of trustworthiness?  Do an informal daily/weekly audit of your actions.”

“Has my microbehaviour (think through a half-dozen meetings) enhanced my image of trustworthiness?  My credibility?  Explicitly?”
