Throughout the month of\u00a0August, we will be featuring 31 essays from our second book. Each stands alone\u00a0as an excellent resource in guiding Boards and C-Suites on driving a trust agenda at the highest level in the organization, and provides tools for those who choose to implement trust-building programs in their organization.<\/p>\n

This fifteenth essay in our series brings advice\u00a0from\u00a0Lea Brovedani the President of Sagacity Consulting. Lea’s work focuses on trust through the lens of Emotional and Social Intelligence in business and education. Her book\u00a0TRUSTED – A Leaders Lesson<\/a><\/em>\u00a0was published in March 2013.

Communication and the Hiring Process<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want employees to trust the new leader they need to be involved with the hiring<\/a>. (Article by Dr. Dana Ardi)<\/em><\/p>\n

Employees should be given as much information as possible on what is happening during the hiring in the C-suite. Yet there are times when every decision can\u2019t be shared, but even that needs to be communicated. Share what you can when you can, and also explain why you can\u2019t.<\/em><\/p>\n

Listen to what employees\u00a0have to say. If they have made suggestions that were ignored let them know why. If you don\u2019t, the message that is sent is \u201cI don\u2019t trust or like the quality of your input.\u201d Share why you chose not to follow their advice, whatever the reason.<\/em><\/p>\n

Communication is an essential skill for trusted leaders and for board members. Communicate that you care by listening and talking to people. Be consistent in the message, committed to communicate not once but until there is understanding and competence in how the message is delivered.<\/em><\/p>\n
