You should be the first assistant to the people who work for you.” - Steve Sample, President of USC 1991-2009 (The Contrarian's Guide to Leadership). This requires a lot of trust.

Building Trust - Dr. Mike Mowery Link  [ more ] [ hide ]		Administration	1/31/2017
BUILDING TRUST, presented by Dr. Mike Mowery, President of Servant Leadership Implementation, SGR Description: We have all seen the negative impact that a lack of trust can cause on a team or in an organization.  Often when speaking with mid-managers and supervisors, they are the ones who are most affected by the difficulties of trust. They are caught in the middle between management and front line employees. Both groups think the middle managers SHOULD be on their side, and both groups FEEL like the mid-managers are more sympathetic with the other side. (Probably like Referees feel at a football or basketball game.) However, just the fact that we can talk about “sides” in this context demonstrates the problem with trust in our organizations. Will qualify for 1 hour of Elective credit for the Municipal Governance Institute (*MGI).
