Research Paper Proposal

When looking at the leaders of a company or a country, it is easy to understand the importance for a leader to be trusted by others. Being trusted by others means that the leader has power and the company or a country will succeed. This paper will explore the importance of trust when you are in a situation of taking leadership. In addition, it will show some techniques of how to build trust. This paper will also use some examples of people who succeed on building trust. It appears that there are two ways to build trust as a leader: credibility and behavior. “Leaders can no longer trust in power; instead, they rely on the power of trust. The role of the trustor is to take risks; the role of the trustee is to be trustworthy. When each is good enough at their roles, a state of trust results. If either party falls down on the job, trust will disappear. Trust involves a frequent exchange of the two roles; if one party seeks only to be trusted but never to trust, the other eventually will stop taking all the risks and shut down the relationship”(Forbes). Stephen Covey’s guide to building trust, “credibility flows from having both character and competence. Character includes your integrity, motive, and intent with people. Competence includes your capabilities, skills, results, and track record. Both dimensions are vital” (2013). From Marillyn Hewson’s article, “behavior is what we do and how we do it. For example, demonstrate the Power of a Handshake and using communicating skills.”
