Leadership Simplified-Part-14-Trusting you is my decision, proving me right is your choice


Trusting you is my decision, proving me right is your choice


The above statement is the subordinate’s inner voice, let us see how Leaders prove their subordinates right by using commitment as a tool for gaining Trust.
Commitment is one of the main foundations on which Trust is built, True Leaders keep up their commitment and they see it as a Virtue to possess
Commitment as a Foundation for Building Trust
True Leaders stand on their words, for instance, if the Leaders tells “they will represent their Subordinate’s case to HR Department within a stipulated time frame & keeps up their word, the trust between them & their subordinate will increase. If the Leader does not keep up their commitment, subordinates will slowly start losing the Trust. Hence it is better to think twice before you commit, but once you have committed you need to stand by it.

A classic example of keeping up a commitment-In response to the British India Steam Navigation Company's trade monopoly, V.O.C Chidambaram started an Indian-owned shipping company by  stating that "I will come back with Ships  Otherwise, I will perish in the sea".
Identify the commitments you are yet to fulfill and start working on it to ensure you prove your subordinate’s decision of trusting you is right.
A True Leader is Trusted for his Commitment
