First, they mistakenly believe that developing trust is a long, slow process that has to evolve over time; and second, they expect that as long as they are trustworthy, people will naturally trust them. However, as a leader, it is essential to put in the effort to build trust with your team.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

In my experience, there are many traits and qualities that are important to leadership, but one stands out above the rest: the ability to lead from within. When you lead from within, you are guided and inspired by your inner compass, which helps you to stand out from the rest and move forward with purpose and conviction.
