Organizations and their leaders become trustworthy once TRUST is earned.
This is accomplished via the following sequence of actions:
- VISION & VALUES: Identify why the organization exists and what it stands for.
- INTEGRITY: Identify, practice and communicate the moral principles and purpose of the leadership team and the organization. Alignment is essential.
- PROMISES: Ensure that leadership is held accountable for doing what it says it will do, and for regularly communicating the vision, values and promises to all stakeholders.
