Behaviors of Trust Competence
Deliver Results Establish clarity about the expected results. Common understanding of what “results” mean Make things happen and deliver what’s expected.
Get Better Continuously improve, learn, and implement. Reject stagnant mediocrity. Develop feedback systems—both formal and informal. Act upon the feedback you receive. Thank people for feedback.
Confront Reality Take issues head-on, even the “undiscussables”. Address the tough stuff directly. Acknowledge the unsaid. Lead out courageously in conversation. Consider the consequences of not confronting reality.
Lord Voldemort is the archenemy of Harry Potter, who according to a prophecy has the power to defeat him. He is so feared that almost no one uses his real name, instead referring to him as "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." Even his followers only refer to him as the "Dark Lord".
Clarify Expectations Disclose and reveal expectations. Discuss them. Confirm them. Check for clarity by asking questions.
Practice Accountability Hold yourself accountable. Hold others accountable. Take responsibility for results.
Keep Commitments This is the number one behavior that either builds or destroys trust. Walk your talk. Back your words with behavior. Make commitments carefully and keep them at all costs.
Extend Trust Demonstrate a propensity to trust. Reflect on the ways you interact with others. Extending trust tends to be reciprocal.
Listen First Listen before you speak. Understand another person’s point of view. Listen with your ears...and your eyes and heart. Stop and ask, “Am I really listening and seeking to understand?”
