Welcome to the May 2005 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 know …

·                    They reap what they sow.

·                    Intentions not delivered mean nothing.

·                    Actions speak louder than words.

·                    Mixed messages cause confusion and mis-trust.

·                    Leadership and trust are inseparable.

Thus, today’s leaders keep it simple …

·                    To be trusted, be trustworthy.

·                    To be respected, be respectful.

·                    To be heard, listen.

·                    To gain commitment, care.

·                    To build teamwork, make connections.

Today’s leaders are conscious of their choices in every single moment, in every single way.

Questions for Reflection

Are you conscious?

Are you keeping it simple?

The choice is ALWAYS yours.

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.
