What does it take to be a credible leader? And what stops us from being a leader people will follow? Since late 2020 I've been exploring what it means to be a leader, especially in a post-pandemic world. I've looked at different leadership types, personality types and read academic papers from journals linked to the topic. All that reading led me to the creation of an initial set of traits of credibility which I tested through my own research last year. I tested the traits, practices and behaviours with leaders and followers, along with an extra hypothesis: ‘Did men and women feel the same about what was important, did they prioritise the traits differently?’ The full research report is now available and it includes: - The eight practices of credible leadership – including capable, trustworthy, visionary and more - A clear definition of credible leadership, that will help you assess your own strengths and weaknesses - What I found out from both men and women - and the differences in how they prioritise the practices - The truth about what followers want from leaders, and how leaders define credibility The research has been an important part of my work in helping leadership teams uncover some of the root causes of chaos inside organisations. It also enabled me to create the eight practices of credibility and The Credibility Wheel which is the basis for my next book, out in October.
