Welcome to the March 2006 edition of  “Leadership:  It’s All About Trust.”

 An on-line newsletter from Ellen Castro that addresses

leadership in today’s ever changing world.

Today’s Leaders

Today’s leaders understand that …

·                    Great Relationships = GREAT Results.

·                    Great relationships are built on trust.

·                    Trust IS a must!

Thus, today’s leader chooses to …

·                    Listen more than speak.

·                    Respond, not react.

·                    Resolve, not blame.

·                    Forgive, not judge.

·                    Make connections, not cause isolation.

·                    Create, not destroy.

Today’s leaders choose to model trustworthiness in every single moment, in every single way.

Questions for Reflection

Is your mind chatter more positive or negative?

Are you creating trust or breeding fear?

The choice is ALWAYS yours … choose wisely.

Feel free to share this with a colleague or friend.  Your comments and thoughts are always appreciated … I am always learning.  Until next time, choose wisely.
