This week, we sat down with Molly Gimmel, and she shared key leadership strategies and concepts in her new book, “Master Your Mindset: How Women Leaders Step Up.” While this is an important book for female leaders and aspiring leaders to read, it is equally important for male leaders, as it gives a depth of understanding in to help develop and support our female leaders.

Are you paying attention to your leadership bank account? The leadership bank account is an account you have with every single member of your team. It is really a relationship account. This account is what creates or destroys trust. Every day we make deposits, and at times, every leader will make withdrawals.

In this episode, I outline 8 deposits, 4 "super deposits", and 11 withdrawals and talk about how to ensure we always keep our account full, trust high, and our relationships and influence strong.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Email me at danny.langloss@gmail.com or interact with our post on LinkedIn that will publish on 11/23/2021.  This is such an important component of our leadership success.

David Horsager Bio:

"A lack of trust is your biggest expense," says David Horsager, a message he has brought to Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and governments the world over. Without trust, transactions cannot occur. Without trust, influence is destroyed. Without trust, organizations lose productivity, relationships, reputation, talent, customer loyalty, creativity, morale, revenue, and results.
 
And there is a reliable, research-based, repeatedly proven-in-practice way to build trust. In this book, Horsager uses the popular business fable format to make his method accessible to as wide an audience as possible. Horsager tells the story of a young software executive facing a critical deadline who discovers the eight Pillars of Trust: clarity, compassion, character, competency, commitment, connection, contribution, and consistency.
