Trust in another person’s leadership has to be chosen. Demanding it does not establish the competence, consistency, or judgment that makes someone worth following.

I explain why healthy submission is voluntary, why it follows demonstrated competence, and what responsibility it places on the leader. Examine the relationship between the trust you receive and the standard of leadership you provide.

Show Notes:

[03:22] Point 1: Submission Is Voluntary

[04:35] Airplane example: choosing to trust another person’s skill

[06:25] Devices and personal data: an everyday example of trust

[07:40] Point 2: Submission Follows Competence

[11:27] Delegation example: a leader also places trust in the team

[13:02] Point 3: Submission Requires Responsibility From the Leader

[15:23] Star-athlete example: how a poor performance can weaken trust

[18:20] Moses example: leadership must keep earning trust

[18:43] Recap
