How can leaders build trust and effectively lead their teams? Dr. Scott De Long joins Kevin to discuss the power of trust in leadership. If you don’t have trust, you don’t have a team. Scott introduces his "circle of trust" methodology to build trust faster and deeper. This includes starting with respect, listening to understand, sharing from experience, and delivering on promises. He also highlights the significance of humility, empathy, and vulnerability in leadership.
