That's really interesting, Henrik. And I think all four of these are such core elements to building trust for any leader with their team and also with the stakeholders that they're reporting into. We'd now like to introduce another voice into the conversation, Emmy Melville, Leadership Advisor in RRA's Atlanta office. Emmy, welcome back to the Leadership Lounge.

You're right, Emi. Trust should be table stakes in every leadership team. But our research uncovered that only 22% of leaders felt that their C-suite team displays a high level of trust that's visible throughout the organisation. Later in today's episode, we'll hear from some of our experts on the top ways in which C-suite leaders can build trust. and how it can be rebuilt if it's broken.

So Ilana, our research has shown that there are specific patterns that distinguish highly trusted executives from their peers. Based on your work with countless senior leadership teams, what are some of the behaviours that consistently mark truly trusted senior leaders?

With trust, consistency really is key. When leaders deliver on promises predictably and repeatedly, it creates a foundation of reliability that's essential for trust. And particularly for CEOs, when they have committed to a strategy, being consistent in how they are executing on the strategy, presenting it to their teams is so important.
