* Through extensive research, “Through their extensive research, Jim Kouzes

and Barry Posner have found that credibility is not based on job titles or hierarchical positions but with the human being in the leader’s shoes. Above

all else, they found that leadership is personal. It’s about you and your relationship with others. If people don’t believe in the messenger, they

won’t believe the message. If people don’t believe in you, they won’t believe in what you say. And if it’s about you, then it’s about your beliefs, your values, and your principles.

It’s also about how true you are to your values and beliefs. Your credibility journey begins with the process of self-discovery.

Their research indicates that, to genuinely know the level of commitment you are willing to make, you must discover three essential aspects of yourself: your credo, your areas of competence, and your level of self-confidence.”

* Let’s revisit your childhood, say, until you were ten years old. This is when

you learned to think and act and navigate in the world. Think about parents, relatives, neighbours, friends, and teachers who influenced you.

What do you remember being told about how to act and what to think? Did you hear that work could be exciting and meaningful?

What were your beliefs about education? What shaped your beliefs about marriage and family? What did you learn about money and the definition of success or failure? What were the implicit messages about happiness, or making mistakes, or asserting yourself?

* You can’t do what you say if you don’t know what you believe. The first stage of your credibility journey is to clarify your values and determine your personal credo.
