CREDIBILITY

In "Encouraging the Heart", Kouzes and Posner write, "Above all, people want to believe in their leaders. They want to believe that the leaders' word can be trusted, that they do what they say. Our findings are so consistent over such a long period of time that we've come to refer to this as the first law of leadership: if you don't believe in the messenger, you won't believe the message." 

—"Encouraging the Heart", p. 131. Illustration by Jim L. Wilson
