How a Leader Builds Trust
Character Character makes trust possible.
A leader builds trust by consistently exemplifying
competence, connection and character. Say what you
mean, mean what you say; Do what you say, daily.
Potential Weak character is limiting. Who do you think has the
greater potential to achieve great dreams: Someone
who is honest, disciplined, and hardworking or
someone who is deceitful, impulsive, and lazy.
Respect When you don’t have respect, you can’t earn respect.

Confidence Confidence is a sign of ability and experience.
Connect Neither IQ nor education necessarily equates to
leadership.
7. 7
No Leader can break trust with his
