Character and Competence
Tip #2 - Character & Competence
Here is a
new Trust Tip from Stephen M.R. Covey. If you missed our
first post on Trust Counterfeits, you can read it here.
Trust
is not only about the kind of person you are. Trust is a product of both Character and Competence.
Within
Character and Competence are the four cores of credibility: Integrity,
Intent, Capabilities, and Results. Your character is what is
below the surface, and your competence is what others can readily see. Here’s a model that we use in our Speed of Trust Training Programs to
describe The 4 Cores of Credibility:

Trust Counterfeits
Tip #1 - Trust Counterfeits
Over the
next couple of weeks, we’ll be sharing a few Trust Tips from Stephen M.R.
Covey, based on his our popular leadership process pulled from his best-selling
book, TheSpeed of Trust.
In our
program titled, Leading at the Speed of Trust, leaders begin the process by
taking a 360-degree assessment where they gather feedback from their boss,
peers and direct reports around The 4
Cores of Trust and The 13 Behaviors
of High Trust Leader, mentioned in the book. This feedback is able to come from up to 30
respondents in a confidential format.
In the 2-day
program, leaders not only learn about these behaviors, they learn about their
counterfeits. When leaders exhibit these
counterfeit behaviors regularly, they create Trust Taxes for their team which ultimately
slow down performance and increase costs towards the bottom line.
Today’s Trust Tip is
acknowledging the Counterfeit Behaviors.
The most damaging risk to trust isn’t
usually the opposite behavior (like lying, poor performance, disrespecting
others, etc). Those are easily
identified and stopped. The biggest
problem is often trust counterfeits.
Counterfeits
are behaviors that appear on the surface to be high-trust but that actually
damage relationships. Be careful not to
engage in counterfeits.
Here
are some examples:

Trust and Employee Engagement
Over the years, there have been several studies that show a direct correlation from employee engagement and business results. Engaged employees are more innovative, give their best at work, take less sick time, stay with companies longer and the list goes on and on.
I recently
came across an infographic on Inc.com that shows the real costs of bad bosses.
There were several parts that caught my attention. Here are just a few:
·
Three out of four employees report that their
boss is the most stressful part of their job
·
65% said they would take a new boss over a pay
raise
·
The average cost to replace a minimum wage
employee is $3,500 (includes recruiting, interviewing, hiring, training and
reduced productivity).
Keep in mind It’s
much higher for a knowledge worker!
So why am I writing
about this? Because there is a real need
for leadership and a real value to an organization that has it. At FranklinCovey, we believe that there are 4
cores to a great leader:
·
Inspire Trust
·
Clarify Purpose
·
Align Systems
·
Unleash Talent
The first of
the 4 Cores is Inspire Trust. The reason
that this is first is because trust is The Performance Multiplier
that affect everything in your organization.
Trust is the number one leadership competency needed today. It is a measurable, trainable and learnable
skill.
We also know
that trust has a direct correlation to employee engagement. The
number one driver of employee engagement is trust! The most leverage can be found between a
supervisor and their direct report. If
organizations focus on instilling trust in their culture (beginning with the
leaders), they can dramatically affect their speed and cost! Read an article titled, How the Best Leaders Build Trust, written by Stephen M.R. Covey, author of the best-selling leadership book, The Speed of Trust.
Lastly, when
organizations are going through change (downsizing, merger, systems, etc.) the leaders
that focus on exhibiting trustworthy behaviors during the change, yield the
best results. Click here to watch a video
that will explain more.
If this intriguing
to you, then consider joining us for one of our complementary executive sessions
titled, Creating a Culture of Trust
February19th - Dallas.
Seats are
open to senior leaders and executives and training decision makers and HR
leaders. Please contact me today to
RSVP.

trust one organization at a time,
