Some of you might think, “How do they relate?” However, both go hand in hand. When a group of people is exposed to a leader and asked to follow him/her trust is the key to success. Most of the failures of leadership goals is led to corruption, lack of loyalty and the fear of the unknown. These are barriers, which can be read about in David’s Horsager’s book titled The Trust Edge: How Top Leaders Gain Faster Results . It explains the eight pillars of trust (Leadership blog), which are:
1. Clarity: People trust the clear and mistrust the ambiguous.
2. Compassion: People put faith in those who care beyond themselves.
3. Character: People notice those who do what is right over what is easy.
4. Competency: People have confidence in those who stay fresh, relevant, and capable.
5. Commitment: People believe in those who stand through adversity.
6. Connection: People want to follow, buy from, and be around friends.
7. Contribution: People immediately respond to results.
8. Consistency: People love to see the little things done consistently.
Do you believe that all eight parts are required for leadership to be successful or are certain steps more vital than others? Give me your input (:

Ambition, efficiency, and morality- I think that’s what the 3 C’s boil down to. All together, they provide a clear expectation of what you hope to find in a leader, and I believe they all compliment each other nicely. There is a certain balance one has to strike when leading, and this is an interesting interpretation of what that balance is. Personally, my favorite components are Clarity, Commitment, Character and Consistency!
