Trust is the foundation of effective leadership, yet many leaders struggle to build it consistently. In this episode, we break down the trust equation - a powerful framework that shows exactly how trust works in professional relationships. Whether you're starting a new role, taking over a team, or working with a new boss, this episode gives you practical strategies to build credibility and strengthen your leadership impact quickly.

Key points from this episode

• The four components of the trust equation and how each one impacts your relationships
• Why technical expertise isn't the only way to establish credibility as a leader
• How small inconsistencies can completely undermine your reliability (and why moving one-to-ones is such a trust killer)
• The importance of appropriate vulnerability and psychological safety in building deeper professional connections
• How self-serving behaviour can destroy all your trust-building efforts
