A critical aspect of leadership is the ability to believe in people. This is a fundamental requirement in order to be able to setup an environment of follower-ship whereby team members not only foster trust in each other, but can utilize that trust to build upon each member’s strengths in a synergistic manner to achieve successes unreachable by single members. This too, helps to prevent anyone from feeling overwhelmed under the weight of having to deliver success totally on their own (which leads to burn-out, health issues, jumping ship, etc).
