Does trust feel low on your team?

Trust does not begin with your team.

It begins with you as the leader.

Before culture shifts.
Before performance improves.
Before accountability strengthens.

The person at the top models what is acceptable.

Your leadership presence is not about confidence in the spotlight.
It is about consistency when no one is watching.

Do you start on time?
Do you follow through without being chased?
Do you invite dissent?

And stay steady when it comes?

Do you say “I was wrong” when you need to?

Remember:
Your team studies you more than you realize.

They measure safety by your steadiness.
They decide how honest to be based on how defensive you become.
Trust is not built by declaring it important.

It is built by your consistent actions.

If trust feels low on your team, the most powerful place to look is not outward.

It is inward.

Because at the top, trust is not a soft skill.
It is leadership discipline.
