Credibility and Leadership

The most important thing to the credibility of a leader is the trust in which his/her followers have in them. If the team does

not able to trust, or RELY, on their leader, then they will

never follow him.

One word: RELIABILITY

Credibility and ManagementOne word: EXPERIENCEA manager needs to have experience to be trusted by

his/her employees. If a manager does not have experience his/her employees have no basis for trust, no proof that the manager in capable of doing his/her job properly. This experience also aids in the process of present and future decision making.

A leader is always a manager; a manager is not always a leader.
