In every high-performance environment—whether it was my years in the Navy or the boardrooms I work in today—I’ve seen the same truth: trust is the multiplier of performance.
Without trust:
⚠️ Leaders spend more time controlling than leading.
⚠️ Teams hesitate, second-guess, and play it safe.
⚠️ Execution slows down.
With trust:
âś… Teams move faster, with less friction.
âś… People innovate because they know their voice matters.
âś… Leaders can focus on vision, not micromanagement.
Here’s the part most leaders miss: trust isn’t built once—it’s built daily. Through clarity, consistency, and follow-through, leaders either earn it… or lose it.
