Trust

Trust someone, believe, have no doubts - very difficult. Lean on someone, stand on someone else's shoulders, be sure that they will not leave you in the middle of nowhere - rare. Trust that you will never be lied to - extraordinary.

Each of us has a circle of people whom we trust and remember those moments in life when we were not able to manage our life alone. Or those twists and turns that we were not able to take without the faith of the other person. Moments when we had to trust strangers - a doctor, an expert in some field, a boss.

Without trust, the relationship is weak, the team - ineffective, work - uncertain, the company -  weak. And the leader? The leader whom we do not trust will not be creadible and even slippery. So he will not be a leader.

Research convinces us that work engagament increases in direct proportion to trust in the boss and can even increase by several dozen percent if we trust him / her. This is a fact that no leader can ignore. So what builds trust in a leader? Trust in the boss consists of many factors, the description of which is definitely not necessary

- competences
- openness
- way of builing relations
- credibility
- reliability
- level of egocentrism

We know that trust building takes a long time and ot can be lost in the blink of an eye. All it takes is one lie, betrayal, stealing an idea, failure to keep a promise, indifference, false step, refusal to support, overlooking or disregarding that we are in need.

So where to start? Who goes first? Of course, the leader should show trust and confidence first. Trust that people are mature, creative, that they have good intentions. Show who he is, what is important to him, what he cares about, what he will need from employees, and not only what he will require from them (they certainly know this). Employees need support, attention, time and even care from their bosses. How do you find time for this while tasks and goals are piling up? Make it a priority. Employees trusting the boss will have the courage to express their opinion, submit new ideas, make their own decisions, and even admit failure, instead of sweeping it under the carpet. And the worst - without trust they will not be motivated to work and will NOT TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

Women's leadership grows stronger as the world needs women's energy. In reference to the Leadership Circle Profile ™ ️research, there are competences, behaviors and trends in which women are assessed higher than men, and there are, of course, those in which men are assessed as more effective. What does that tell us? It is not about who is better - I am far from such statements and searches, and I even think that it builds divisions. The different distribution of women's and men's strengths and competencies in leadership is a benefit that must be harnessed.

We are all scared. It is impossible to turn back time. There is a war in Ukraine and it concerns us all. We realized that, above all, there is nothing we reach for in different circumstances - there is no escape and we must find comfort in this tremendous discomfort and fear.The danger of war is clear. It is also a war that tests whether we can support each other, cooperate, empathize, understand each other, be one, or the opposite. How to deal with paralyzing fear and overwhelming thoughts?
