A trustworthy leader gets to know their employees, listens to their concerns, and responds in a meaningful way.

No coddling them; a trustworthy leader expects their team members to perform their jobs professionally. But a trusted leader knows that no one is perfect. People make mistakes, have hardships, and sometimes just need to know that someone cares. A great leader “has the back” of each member of their team. A great leader builds their team based on their weakness’s – not their strengths. A great leader has no fears in letting their weakness show through. Great leaders do not fear – they trust in their leadership abilities. Great leaders have self-awareness of their own behaviors and how they effect the team. As a leader, when walking the process, do not “scare” but let your mannerisms invite them to “speak” freely. That means you don’t jump all over them when they make a mistake, and/or you do not show favoritism to some over the others. 70% of today’s companies leaders are coming out of college with the basics of Lean/Six Sigma. They do not come out of college with the best behaviors or skills. Please like, comment or contact me to help with your Lean Transformation: www.leanyourway.com
