In my talks with A and C leaders of all shapes, sizes, sexes and seniority, there is one question that all have to answer every day and in every interaction: ‘Can we trust them?’ We need to know that our leaders will keep their word, will not abuse their authority and will ensure that fair play is done and seen to be done. We need to trust them to do the right thing. Trust in leadership has two main parts to it – credibility and confidence.

Don’t Be a Dog—Think “What If?” “From the early days of WordPress, we would always think: ‘Okay, if we do X today, what does that result in tomorrow, a year from now, ten years from now?’ The metaphor I think of the most—because it’s simple—is the dog chasing the car. What does the dog do if he catches the car? He doesn’t have a plan for it. So I find it just as often on the entrepreneurial side. People don’t plan for success.”
