Trust is Everything

After finishing the final chapter of Leadership Connectors on trust I was struck by the simple yet complex structure of good leadership.   Everything we do eventually comes down to trust.  I was encouraged by the authors reflection on how every characteristic of leadership discussed in this book is based upon the foundation of trust.  It is good to be reminded that everything we do, are asked to do, volunteer to do and what we are perceived to have done will point back to the trust factor.  Oh, heavy is the crown

  1. I agree! Trust is the base for solid relationships. We need to build that trust on our campuses.

  2. Josh,

    Well said about the importance of trust in all aspects of leadership. So hard to attain, so easy to lose.

  3. Trust is essential and fragile. You are right, we always need to be mindful of our words and actions because trust can be broken so easily. Be a model of giving and receiving trust of others. :)
