If you think your team trusts you, you might want to check the data. Research shows that leaders typically have a "31% on average, higher perception of how trust is doing versus frontline employees." Here are three big themes from our conversation that every leader needs to hear: The "Three-Legged Stool" of Trust: Trust isn't a vague soft skill. It\u2019s a measurable structure. Cory breaks it down into three essential building blocks: competency, problem solving, and care for others. As he says, "If you only have two of them, but one of them is less, it's gonna feel really wobbly and kind of wonky". Active Listening is Leadership: Want to strengthen the "care" pillar? Stop looking for perks and start listening. Cory notes that "active listening is the most effective way to strengthen trust for the care for others."  Clarify Truth, Inspire Belief: Cory challenges every leader to ask themselves two fundamental questions: "Am I clarifying truth? Am I inspiring belief?" When we co-create a collective aspiration or a shared truth, we move away from scattered, unfocused energy and toward a culture where trust can actually thrive. #Leadership #Trust #ClosingTheTrustGap #Education #ActiveListening #ImperfectLeader #StrategicPlanning -------  Follow Cory Scheer here: https:\/\/dot.cards\/trustcentric Follow Host Peter Stiepleman on: LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/peter-stiepleman-76004819a\/ Website: https:\/\/imperfectleader.com\/ YouTube (video of conversation): https:\/\/youtu.be\/VkKiXpczSEAhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@animperfectleaderleadershi5144\/featured Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/animperfectleader\/ Tiktok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@animperfectleader  Follow Co-host Jamie Almanz\u00e1n on: Connect with APC Leadership Collaborative for support in navigating complex leadership situations: https:\/\/www.apccollab.com -------  An Imperfect Leader is sponsored by IXL.
