Courageous leaders must trust - themselves, the process they set up and the other people around them - working with them in a work team or living with them as members of a family. Trust is a foundation value of a courageous leader. Without trust I do not believe you are courageous.
Firstly you need to trust in yourself - to do the right thing and stay true to the kind of leader you really want to be. This is true of you as a leader in all the roles you play in life - a parent, a sister, a wife, a daughter and all the other roles you undertake in life.
Trusting in the process set up and agreed is critical. This shows you believe in the other people to follow the process and produce the results. This can be very challenging and I have probably learnt the most about this concept by being the mother of a teenage daughter.
Lastly there is the trust you need to have in other people if you want them to work with passion and you want to unleash their true potential. Some of us have a natural propensity to trust and others of us are more skeptical and critical. No matter our natural propensity - trust in others is the true expression of your foundation value as a courageous leader.
