In this episode of The Next Move, Orvin Kimbrough explores the vital role of trust in leadership. He shares his background and mission, highlighting the gap between title authority and earned trust, and contrasts authority with influence. Orvin discusses building trust through small, consistent actions, drawing from experiences at Midwest Bank Center and his foster care background. He presents four lessons: prioritize consistency, tell the truth early, follow through on tasks, and build credibility through steadiness. Trust is reframed as a pattern, not a feeling, offering practical steps for reliability. Orvin concludes with thoughts on consistency and a call to action.
