Episode #55 - Trust Behaviours in Action

In this episode, we move from measuring trust to living it through behaviours leaders practise daily. Drawing on Frances Frei’s “Trust Triangle,” we explore how authenticity, logic, and empathy form the three legs of trust, and why a wobble in any one weakens the whole. This episode includes practical micro-habits to apply this week: framing decisions with principles and constraints, narrating reasoning with clarity and uncertainty, and running inclusion rounds that make every voice count. By Friday, you’ll know exactly which habits create the strongest ripple for your team.References:1) Unleashed: The Unapologetic Leader’s Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49208248-unleashed2) Authentic leadership: Development and validation of a theory-based measure: https://doi.org/10.1177/01492063073089133) Justice at the millennium: A meta-analytic review of 25 years of organizational justice research: https://doi.org/10.1037/0021-9010.86.3.4254) Making it safe: The effects of leader inclusiveness and professional status on psychological safety and improvement efforts in health care teams: https://doi.org/10.1002/job.4135) Trust in leadership: Meta-analytic findings and implications for research and practice: https://doi.org/10.1037/0021-9010.87.4.611Music Credit: Switch It Up, performed by Silent Partner, from the YouTube Studio Audio Library
