For those trying to establish credibility with co-workers, focus on the 3 C’s:
1. Competence – the technical, managerial, or leadership capabilities of an individual (e.g., knowledge, skills and abilities). Questions to ask yourself:
- Do I have the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to be productive? How do I know?
- Do I execute? Do I hold myself and/or others accountable for getting results?
- Am I efficient and productive? Do I deliver in a timely fashion?
- Are others convinced of my competence? How do I know?
