I
am back from a Conference in Los Angeles where I did a presentation on the 18 inches
towards real transformation from the head to the heart. At the conference I had
the opportunity to listen to some outstanding wisdom and legacy leaders of the
world. One such session was with Ken Blanchard.
Ken
talked about trust as the basis for every relationship and about defining trust
busters and trust boosters, as well as rebuilding trust. I personally liked the
assessment tool Ken discussed with us that uses 35 statements based on the
following:
1,
When you demonstrate competence and skill, you are ABLE, which builds trust.
2.
When you act with integrity, you are BELIEVABLE,
which builds trust.
3.
When you care about others, you are CONNECTED,
which builds trust.
4.
When you remain reliable, you are DEPENDABLE,
which builds trust.
To
summarise: This must be a self-assessment and team assessment once a year. I would
love to demonstrate this tool to you in a Power Hour session with your team.
