When true leadership is demonstrated, others will follow. Connecting emotionally starts with your own behaviours and building trust and cooperation into your organizational DNA. You need to understand who your people are and what drives them.<p style=" 0px; 0px; inherit; 3.2rem; Source Serif Pro&quot;, serif; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; initial; "><strong style=" 0px; 0px; font-style: inherit; inherit; inherit; inherit; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; initial; ">Walk the Talk &#8211; Trust and Cooperation<p style=" 0px; 0px; inherit; 3.2rem; Source Serif Pro&quot;, serif; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; initial; ">Leaders need to go first -- lead by example and walk the talk if they want trust and cooperation from their team.

You need a good team around you to achieve organizational success. Lack of trust can create uncertainty and cause leaders to question themselves and others to question the decisions made by leadership.<p style=" 0px; 0px; inherit; 3.2rem; Source Serif Pro&quot;, serif; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; initial; ">Leaders set the tone with their behaviours.

Establishing a trusting relationship with your team makes them more open to new ideas and it also helps to establish a dialogue about change. True leadership isn&#8217;t getting others to follow you &#8211; it&#8217;s finding others who share your vision to join you, and this can only happen if they understand and trust your vision for change.<p style=" 0px; 0px; inherit; 3.2rem; Source Serif Pro&quot;, serif; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; initial; ">Getting your team to buy into or adopt your vision starts with hiring the right people, establishing a collaborative environment, and being open and honest about things that are happening. A simple daily team huddle, team meeting, or even a weekly email update to keep your team in the loop promotes transparency and establishes trust.<p style=" 0px; 0px; inherit; 3.2rem; Source Serif Pro&quot;, serif; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; initial; ">When your team trusts you, they will be more willing to try new things, be open to suggestions, offer honest feedback to leaders, ask for clarification and help when they need it, and be willing to see new perspectives.<p style=" 0px; 0px; inherit; 3.2rem; Source Serif Pro&quot;, serif; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; initial; ">Transformational leaders understand the need to frame change in a way that taps into people&#8217;s emotions, aligns with their passion and purpose, and engages them in the process -- so they see it as an opportunity instead of a threat. That is what makes people willing to endure the pain of change and trust in the process.<p style=" 0px; 0px; inherit; 3.2rem; Source Serif Pro&quot;, serif; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; initial; ">Passion is the main driver of change because it leverages the power of your people. Without passion and proving that you walk the talk, even the best strategic initiative and change management plans will get trampled.<p style=" 0px; 0px; inherit; 3.2rem; Source Serif Pro&quot;, serif; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; initial; ">Once you have a clear purpose and communicate your passion for change, you can then introduce the process to create change.
