Hi friends! I hope you are doing well wherever you are listening to this episode! It is fun to see the fall colors coming out and feel the brisk air.

Whether you are a new or experienced leader, leadership credibility is essential. You may be asking, “What is leadership credibility?” It is the ability of a leader to gain the trust and confidence of others. Some people say that when you have leadership credibility, others believe in you and your ability to get things done. When you gain this credibility, those you lead will follow you to the ends of the earth. They will trust you, your decisions and your ability to lead them.

As important as it is though, it is not easy to gain. Leaders constantly face the challenge of gaining leadership credibility from their followers. Additionally, their followers try to test them because they want to know if their leaders are really qualified to be the leader. They also want to be sure that the leader knows what they are talking about.

5 Core Values to Build Leadership Credibility

So how can we gain this high level of leadership credibility? Leadership credibility is not something that can be gained over night. It is developed by consistent ethical and moral behavior, but let’s turn that into something practical.

Here’s four core values leaders can develop to build leadership credibility with their followers.

1. Integrity

What does that mean? Leaders must be honest with their followers. If you tell lies, you will immediately lose the trust of those you are trying to lead. They will discredit what you say in the future and won’t believe you. They will also have a very hard time following you.

The Sports Fan In Me!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a major sports fan. I love sports and have played most of them at some competitive level throughout my life. I did baseball, basketball, football, soccer, ultimate frisbee, and the list goes on… Of all the sports I played, football has always been my favorite to play and watch. I follow both college football and the pros. I love football so much it is almost an addiction.

NFL Stories

Last week was the start of NFL preseason and college football starts in just a few weeks. As I have been getting back into the swing of football, I’ve heard many stories about football players and their triumphs to compete in the face of difficult challenges. Of all the stories, one stood out more than the rest. I’ll start by asking… Who is the current NFL football player with the most jersey sales? Your probably thinking, Tom Brady, Dak Prescott, Von Miller, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Colin Kaepernick or one of the other big name players in the league, right?

Apollo 13

Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the Apollo space program and the third intended to land on the Moon. The craft was launched on April 11, 1970, at 1:13 PM CST from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded two days later, crippling the Service Module (SM) upon which the Command Module (CM) had depended.

The Problems

Following the explosion, the crew onboard realized there were many problems with their equipment. Their chance to make it back to earth kept dwindling as time went on. Flight Control located in Houston, urgently provided assistance in resolving the issues they were encountering. They had to desperately search for answers to unique problems. They listed all the problems they could think of.

Batteries may freeze
Water system may freeze
Propellant may freeze
There were a large number survival issues

10 Qualities of an Organizational Leader

An organizational leader is not just defined by his role or some high position in the company, but he is defined by his actions and the traits that he doesn’t only possess but also displays. If you also want to be a great leader – one who can win the hearts of his colleagues – take a look at the following qualities:

1. A Real Organizational Leader Is Honest

A real leader holds integrity, values, morals and trust for his people. An organizational leader who owns these qualities will always have the ability to make people feel good about their environment and their jobs. Remember that employees always prefer to work for leaders whom they can feel comfortable with.

2. A Real Organizational Leader Likes To Communicate

An organizational leader will not be able to make his people understand what he wants to talk about if he does not communicate with people. Employees are not just interested in following an organizational leader, but interested in knowing his goals and values, and communication is the key to doing that. A successful organizational leader has the art of communicating in a way that makes everyone around him stay happy and agree with him at all times.
