Building Trust: The Law of Solid Ground John Maxwell's "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" brings to light many invaluable principles, and the Law of Solid Ground is particularly pivotal. It teaches that trust is the foundation of leadership. This law emphasizes the importance of trustworthiness and integrity in a leader’s journey, akin to standing on solid ground. In my own leadership experiences, I've come to realize that trust is not a given; it's earned. It's built through consistent actions, truthfulness, and reliability. This law resonates with me because it underlines that a leader's potential is limited without the foundation of trust. No matter how visionary or charismatic one is, without trust, their leadership stands on shaky ground. The Law of Solid Ground has shaped my approach to leadership. It's a reminder that every decision, every interaction, and every commitment is an opportunity to build or erode trust. Leaders must be mindful of their actions and their words, ensuring they align with ethical principles and the promises made to their team and stakeholders. Leadership, in essence, is a relationship built on trust. By adhering to the Law of Solid Ground, we can lead with integrity, foster strong relationships, and create an environment where everyone feels secure to grow and innovate. https://lnkd.in/gKZ4GbkU Josh HannaberryDave Elniski, MA, CTSP, CRSP, ATCLChad AlbertCliff LitkeMichelle SpacilAlberta Motor Transport AssociationJason Donkersgoed, MA (Leadership), CEC, ACCCPHR Alberta, #StrategicLeadership #PlanningForSuccess #NavigatingChallenges #LeadershipInsights #LawOfSolidGround #JohnMaxwell #Empowerment #LeadershipGoals #PositiveInfluence #LeadershipJourney #LawOfInfluence #JohnMaxwell #trucking #Humanresouces #Management #leadership

A handful of years ago, I was in a course to become a life coach. My coach and trainer dove deep into building trust and shared two pieces of advice that I try and keep front of mind at all times: 1) if you said you would do something, do it - in order to help you succeed in accomplishing your commitment of follow through, don’t agree to do something when you’re in a good mental state that you wouldn’t be able to do in a bad mental state. 2) monitor consistencies in ourselves and in others - if you’re consistent, people will know what to expect which strengthens their ability to trust you when times are good, but more so when times are tough. Good post my friend.

I love that you are posting this right now, since I’m reading the book. 📖 beautiful insights.
