Perhaps the most impactful tool in our Speed of Trust measurement arsenal is the trust Quotient. The tQ 360º Trust Quotient measures how trusted you are and which of 4 cores of credibility or the 13 behaviors are strong or weak as perceived by your co-workers, direct reports and your boss.
We advise that trust is an inside out process starting with yourself. Many successful managers are unconsciously competent at trust. They admit that trust contributed significantly to their careers yet, usually cannot identify the specific components of trust that they mastered.
This lack of awareness can be a difficult blind spot in advancing from management to leadership. Leadership requires navigating the risk of trusting people. Modeling high trust behaviors by extending smart trust is what distinguishes managers from leaders and is the source of organizational growth.
By learning not only how trusted you are but why—the specific behaviors and cores of trust and credibility is a breakthrough competence. Knowing the components of your success is the only way to entrust others and multiply your influence. On the flip side identifying weaknesses or blind spots is also a powerful benefit of feedback and key to getting better.
