“If you would not be
forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth
reading, or do things worth writing.” ―Benjamin Franklin
Building credibility is
easier said than done. It requires character, commitment, consistency, and
communication. It must be loaded with immense energy, enthusiasm, and efforts. It
needs transparency and building trust in others. There are leaders who survived
and succeeded despite being at the brink of bankruptcy because of their
credibility and visibility. In this post, we will discuss tools and techniques
to build your credibility.
Tools to Build Your
Credibility Globally
Be an expert in your area.
Being a recognized expert is better than being an expert. Social media helps to
get recognized quickly. So, build a network of followers to get recognized and
build your leadership brand. Here are some tools to build your credibility
globally. Network with eminent and credible personalities globally. Open a blog
and share your ideals, ideas and insights regularly. Author books. Get
forewords and endorsements from eminent people. Offer training programs. Be active
on social media platforms to share your free knowledge with the world. Add
value to others and make a difference. Work for satisfaction, not for
recognition.
Being credible is more
important than being visible because popularity is like a passing cloud. Hence,
be available online with credibility. Think why should people spend their
precious time in you if you are not an expert, visible and credible.
Leave Your Leadership Legacy
You must walk your talk and
lead from the front. You must win the confidence of your colleagues. You must
be able to command respect from others. You must emphasize more on character,
less on charisma. You must be able to sacrifice for the sake of others. You
must keep people before profit. To conclude, build your credibility to leave
your leadership legacy to the next generations.
