credibility

As a people manager, you are in the spotlight 100% of the time, and the team members are closely watching, and you need to be consistent with your behavior.   Then, make sure you “walk the talk” and do not say things you do not intend to execute or act on. Also, be respectful and transparent.   And I have a simple rule for that:  In this way, being consistent in these behaviors, you will start to build credibility with your team, daily, one step each time.  A trustful relationship is all your employees want and need from their leaders, they will respect you more for that, and be more engaged when you ask for action.
