We hear a lot about credibility these days, particularly as it relates to our elected officials (as in lack of credibility). It has even surfaced as we evaluate the results of our sporting events (e.g., deflated footballs, blown calls).
Credibility is the quality of being believable or worthy of trust. As a leader, it allows your employees to put their faith in you to make good decisions, communicate with transparency and be a reliable source of information. It allows your peers and your manager to know that you are communicating without hidden agendas and that you have the organization’s best interest in mind.
