Credibility is the foundation of leadership. People must be able, above all else, to believe in their leaders. To willingly follow them, people must believe that the leaders' word can be trusted, that they are personally passionate and enthusiastic about their work, and that they have the knowledge and skill to lead.People must also believe that their leaders know where they're heading and have a vision for the future. Being forward-looking and having a vision is what truly makes leaders unique from other people in an organization. Leaders are expected to have a point of view about the future and to articulate exciting possibilities. People will only willingly follow when they are confident that their leaders know where they are going. When it comes to deciding whether a leader is believable, people first listen to the words, then they watch the actions. They listen to the talk, and then they watch the walk. When words and deeds are congruent, "credible" is the judgment handed down.The Kouzes-Posner First Law of LeadershipIf you don't believe in the messenger, you won't believe the message. To be credible in action, leaders must be clear about their beliefs; they must know what they stand for. That's the "say" part. Then they must put what they say into practice: they must act on their beliefs and "do."People trust and more willingly follow leaders whose deeds adds words match.The Kouzes-Posner Second Law of LeadershipDWYSYWD: Do What You Say You Will Do AssignmentOn a scale of 1 to 7, how well do you demonstrate the principles of âCredibility is the Foundation of Leadershipâ from Kouzes and Posnerâs The Leadership Challenge? = very poor = poor = fair = good = very good = excellent = exceptionalWhich of the four essential characteristics of credibility (honest, competent, inspiring, forward-looking) do you use most effectively?Which of the four essential characteristics of credibility (honest, competent, inspiring, forward-looking) do you use least effectively?What should you do to use the principles of âCredibility is the Foundation of Leadershipâ more effectively?
