Trust is not neutral - trust will either accelerate or erode leadership capacity. This podcast outlines seven strategies effective leaders can use to constantly cultivate high levels of trust.

1. Make it personal - remember trust with one establishes trust with many.
2. Stand for something - consistency shows reliability, congruence demonstrates authenticity, and coherence (your story over time) imparts meaning.
3. Declare intent - make explicit statements goals that everyone shares.
4. Market transparency - you might of told ‘em, but did they notice? Be proactive in pointing out how people can see what is going on.
5. Seed accountability, weed blame - encourage blame free problem-solving
6. Speak of others as though they were present - what else is there to say.
7. Learn to apologize - don’t explain, don’t excuse, and follow-up with corrective action.
