Here's a reality check: No one will follow a leader they don't trust. The Law of Solid Ground is all about trust-based leadership. Building trust as a leader allows you some leeway to make mistakes, but the key is that the trust must always outweight bad decisions. No one is perfect, and every leader will lose a little credibility from time to time. However, if you've built yourself a solid foundation to stand on, your employees will stick with you when times get tough. In his chapter on the Law of Solid Ground, Maxwell writes, "People will forgive occasional mistakes based on ability, especially if they can see that you're still growing as a leader. And they will give you some time to connect. But they won't trust someone who has slips in character." Join us today as we discuss The Law of Solid Ground.
