Recommendation

“Leadership is the relationship between people who aspire to lead and those who choose whether or not to follow,” begins this highly applicable article by business professors Daniel Han Ming Chng, Tae-Yeol Kim, Brad Gilbreath and Lynne Andersson. Whether people follow, the authors say, depends on a leader’s credibility. Learn which two qualities make you credible and how you can embody and express them.

Take-Aways

  • People follow leaders whom they see as competent and deem trustworthy.
  • To demonstrate your competence, be a person of action who focuses on the future and business results.
  • Build your trustworthiness by staying consistent in your messaging and actions.
