Most of us see ourselves as leaders, but a whole lot goes into "Leadership."  One of the most vital aspects of persuasion is the credibility and trust people see in you. Credibility can grow over time, and it can also be spent or wasted.   In this episode, Mike and Jim will teach us about building cred with your team, how credibility shapes a leader's ability to influence decisions, maintain team cohesion, and drive mission success. Drawing from research, philosophy, and operational experience, they outline the behaviors that strengthen trust and the missteps that erode it. Strong leadership isn't always about rank or position—it's about credibility. In high-performance teams, the credibility you have determines if you are a true influence on those around you or if you merely hold a title.      Pretty good research article on this: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9309999/  How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie - https://amzn.to/49llmSO     Find us on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/YouTube) @TacTangents.
