The key to any relationship, professional or personal, is trust. While trust is something you give, it is also something you must cultivate with others.

How do you establish trustability as a leader?

Trustability is earned by the steady application of other abilities, some of which are listed below. These are the building blocks of trust.

• Reliability – You are true to your word, consistently doing what you say you will do.
• Dependability – You show up where you are needed and committed to being.
• Credibility – You are authentically who you are perceived to be.
• Relatability – You are someone people can relate to because you are genuine.
