Leadership Tuesdays: Building Trust...Joel Peterson

But building an enduring trust is rooted in facts, in truth-telling, in delivering on promises. Though trust is earned a conversation or transaction at a time, its durability flows from a lifetime of promises kept. In a fast-food-for-thought culture of instant gratification, many don’t recognize that real trust is derivative of intentionality, discipline, and effort – saying what you intend to do and working hard to do what you say.*

*Quote from "The Real Reasons Clinton and Trump Lost America’s Trust" by 

Joel Peterson


Every other Tuesday, WOMEN AT LIBERTY provides Leadership Tuesdays, a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage and strengthen women leaders. 

Today's quote is from a Fortune magazine article talking about Americans lack of trust in our current presidential candidates. Current polls state that Americans' trust in our political system is at an all time low.(See Pew Research article here.) 

As stated in the quote above, trust is the currency that enables us to do business with each other, build safe communities, establish meaningful relationships, and provide nurturing and supportive environments for ourselves and our families. At the root of trust is truth-telling and commitments based on facts. Trust that took years to build can be destroyed in a moment of deceit and betrayal. Conducting oneself in a way that builds and sustains trust is essential and the currency for success in life and business.

The America We Are Trying To Create...Hillary Rodham Clinton

There cannot be true democracy unless all citizens are able to participate fully in the lives of their country.  God bless the America we are trying to create.

Finding The Right Solution...@vnona

At some point you have to admit that the numbers don't add up, the answer does not answer the question,  explanation does not explain the problem, and the excuse you have been given is not adequate.

Bringing About Change...@vnona

We must exhibit the behaviors we desire to see in others. That's the responsibility of being an adult and a #leader. This will bring about the  #change we seek.
