The Trust Gap In Leadership

If It Is Not Overcome, It Will Absolutely Prevent Success

One of the most powerful tools that Leaders have at their disposal is to hire amazing people to help their organizations thrive.

However, I find there is a common problem here.

It can be really easy to find amazing hires.

Many organizations can paint pictures of a beautiful desire to grow and change culture.

For new hires, it can make them excited and want to be a part of something different.

But when these new hires start, they find that perhaps things are not what they hoped.

They want to make changes and are told no.

They have ideas that could be helpful and are not heard.

At every turn, their progress is halted.

Why?

It is the Trust Gap.

These new individuals have not yet earned Trust, and Leaders are hesitant to make the changes that are requested without having established Trust.

It causes issues on both sides.

The Leader likely is juggling multiple items and struggling to keep them all in the air.
