The Effective Leader’s Greatest Secret: Service + Credibility + Influence via Persuasion = Effectiveness

Credibility is a perceived level of trust and confidence granted or lost every day from those with whom you serve as a result of how well you apply the Conditions for Effectiveness. You cannot control other people, but you can influence them, but only if you have credibility.

Credibility is the currency of influence and influence through persuasion is the key to effectiveness.

Effective leaders set and continually apply these Conditions for Effectiveness by:

Serving their team members (See Chapter 2)

Treating everyone with dignity, respect, and kindness (See Chapter 3)

Consistently producing excellent results by supporting team goals (See Chapter 4)

How many of these actions are you already doing? Is there room for improvement?

If you continually apply the Conditions for Effectiveness, you can expect to have:

Won the credibility needed to influence the behavior of others through persuasion
Created cohesive teams that believed in teamwork and problem solving via consensus
Fostered a healthy and supportive working environment where members serve each other
Attained significant PCF/BOE value added that consistently produced excellent results
Attracted the best and brightest people that fulfilled and sustained team goals/purpose/vision
Sponsored the way to greater Innovation, Invention, Improvement, and Creativity (I3C)
Maximized the productivity of products & services by enhancing effectiveness, efficiency, and consistency
Maximized sustainability by training enough effective leaders and followers for the future

My effective leaders weren’t perfect. We overlooked their imperfections because we knew they cared about us. They took care of us and we could feel it.
