I think many people overlook the elegantly simple concept of extending trust to ones followers. In the formative stage of any relationship there is an element of risk taking. A small transactional process where one person takes a small trust based risk with another. If the trust is kept a slightly larger risk can be taken and reciprocated. Trust your team...amen there is no other answer to building a trust based leadership relationship. Recognizing who can be trusted now that is a whole different questions isn't it...

Trust your team…amen there is no other answer to building a trust based leadership relationship.

Recognizing who can be trusted now that is a whole different questions isn’t it… This is a topic I have blogged about on my site as it is a critical aspect of the leadership puzzle.

I would however like to take it one step further by adding that "The trust of Leadership" can only be maintained (or regained) by owning up to their mistakes. I say "their" because I absolutely believe that it covers both the sides you pointed out in the post. As a person both in leadership as well as one under leadership I can say that if a leader is completely transparent and forthcoming then the foundation of trust is laid and can be built upon. This is the type of leader I strive to be and the type I would follow to the very gates of Hell itself.

Lying by omission of information is another real trust breaker.
