If people don't respect you, they won't follow you.

It's really as simple as that. So how do you earn, and keep, their respect? What qualities drive respect in those you lead?

Today, on the Do Hard Things Today podcast.

You might not want to hear it, but you need to hear it. Now, who's going to tell you? Do you surround yourself with folks who will only tell you things you want to hear, or do you have somebody who is willing and capable of holding you accountable?

We'll share a little bit of what you need to hear on today's episode.

On today's episode of the Do Hard Things Today podcast, it's time to take a look at what you're doing for yourself.

No matter what the question is, YOU are the answer. If things are going well, you're the reason. If things are going bad, you're the reason. And you're the one who can fix it.

Join Kevin, Bonnie, and Jed today as they take a look at self-accountability.

Here's a reality check:

No one will follow a leader they don't trust.

The Law of Solid Ground is all about trust-based leadership.

Building trust as a leader allows you some leeway to make mistakes, but the key is that the trust must always outweight bad decisions. No one is perfect, and every leader will lose a little credibility from time to time. However, if you've built yourself a solid foundation to stand on, your employees will stick with you when times get tough.

In his chapter on the Law of Solid Ground, Maxwell writes, "People will forgive occasional mistakes based on ability, especially if they can see that you're still growing as a leader. And they will give you some time to connect. But they won't trust someone who has slips in character."

Join us today as we discuss The Law of Solid Ground.

Effective leaders understand the importance of adding value - to people, to the organization, and to the world. They recognize that it takes many people to build a successful organization, they share and give credit rather than claiming it for themselves.
