My mind is ruined from years of social media. Every time he said “followers” I had to remind myself he was not talking about Instagram.

Barry Posner's TEDx talk on the importance of credibility in leadership is a true eye-opener. His words remind us that to lead effectively, we must first earn the trust and belief of those we lead. It's not just about what we say, but who we are as leaders that truly inspires others to follow. This talk is a powerful reminder that authentic leadership starts with credibility, and it's a message that can inspire us all to lead with integrity and purpose. 💯

Honesty , Transparency , unbiased & Empathy are the key elements of being a Leader. If you are not honest , you will be a fake & you can never be a Leader. If you are not transparent then people will loose trust in you , if you are biased then you can be a boss of small group of people but not the leader. Finally if you do not have Empathy , you will ultimately be detached from reality & will never be able to understand human nature & how it behaves in different situation.

Very informative! I love the last statement, people will believe the message if they believe in the messenger.

Honesty is a top characteristic that I want from my leaders. Once I learn that someone has been dishonest with me, I lose faith in his or her ability to lead properly. Deceit is a method of control used to manipulate others. A good leader should not resort to such tactics. Thank you, sir, for this valuable research.

As a former student of Prof. Posner, I will testify he's a gifted speaker, who spent a full career on leadership. He is very clear. For decades he has worked with the former top of the Tom Peter's organization. Both the length of partnership and the status speak well of both men. Posner was the dean of a good-sized university business school in Silicon Valley. This talk asks, What do followers seek when choosing a leader? He offers four core answers: a) Honest b) Passionate, full of feeling c) Smart and Expert (in the areas where they lead) d) Forward-looking (has a plan for where to go) This is a great introduction to a well-spoken writer and teacher, a leading authority on leaders.

Barry's research on people from 70 different countries has proven that over 80% of people expect their leaders to be honest. That's the #1 quality that people want in a leader that they willingly follow. And a vast majority of people also require that their willingly-followed leaders are forward-looking, inspiring and competent. As someone who has worked with people from over 50 different countries, I can tell you that people are people the world over, and this is something that is fundamental to all kinds of people from all over Our World.

And that first quality, credibility, is found in the greatest and most influential man in history the prophet Muhammed peace and blessings be upon him.

Trump doesn't lead and it wasn't leadership that got him elected. He cheats and bribes his way to the top. If you are a leader, you have lead and you continue to lead. Trump will not last because he clearly is not a true leader. What Barry is talking about is leading from the heart to other hearts. Those leaders last. Don't give up!
