Boost Credibility When You’re Leading Into the Unknown

What does it take to boost credibility when you’re leading into the unknown for transformational growth? Not that many years ago, leaders built credibility over time, and this stayed fixed, sometimes for decades. You gained it by being consistent, predictable, and living up to expectations. Fast forward to today, and it’s a different story. Credibility is no longer something that builds slowly and stays fixed. You create it or lose it in real time. The pace of change makes credibility more dynamic than ever. Information is available in a heartbeat. Track records are made or broken in a heartbeat. Reputations rise and fall in a heartbeat.
That’s why in this Quick Take Episode, we discuss “situational credibility” and how different stakeholders are redefining what it means to be credible, especially when you’re leading into the uncharted territory of transformational growth. We also discuss the important difference between being perceived as credible and being seen as trustworthy. We share stories about what the credibility gap can look like and what it took for leaders to boost their credibility as they led transformational growth. Additionally, we share three immediately useful ideas for boosting credibility in the face of extreme uncertainty and complexity.
Credibility is no longer something that builds slowly and stays fixed. We create it or lose it in real time. — Pam Harper
