Credibility management –The volatile factors
Quotients in life. Be it trust, value, respect, reputation, all are key essentials to qualify for being credible. Credibility has its innate focus on certain value parameters which either enhance or deplete one's credibility. Assessing people on some variables gives one a larger perspective to see the better side than sticking to a framed thought.
Credibility is establishing the unique you as you set apart. In the personal or professional realm, it's all about some key qualities that enhance the brand value parameter. At the societal level, business, professional or personal level, whether you represent practicing fraternity, at the police force, the government, sports or any other institutionalised activity, when values are not upheld, it narrows down to a negative trend. And with increased positive factors, it gets elevated. Leaders who have credibility develop a culture of balancing all spheres of activity.
Gaps indeed are the focal thrust today. Spatial gaps, communication ones, behavioural syndromes, lifestyle spheres (not the realspace strats or trops) , longitudinal and latitudinal ones which have to be addressed time and again. Just as we are confined narrowly to our domain, and not connected with the rest at large most of the time, it's essential to focus on the cores. To reduce gaps of any magnitude, aligning constantly in all spheres of activity to the rest, is paramount. When these are met diligently, we arrive at the consensus – the reality by which our own stakes build up and keep growing.
Credibility building is not instant. It must be practiced in such a way that our thoughts when aligned with our actions shape up the unique personality escalating one to a plateau of higher value which is being a unique you and thereby the factors of credibility shoot up. That gives a level up and a quantum leap on everything which is nothing but better name, fame, money, lifestyle, personality and many more.
When factors of credibility are in complete sync, it boosts one to better optimized conduct. Just as thoughts get converted to actions; and words become actions governing the thumb rule of uniqueness, all determinants are key essentials. In business, credibility increases one's stake value consistently which focuses on fine thoughts and performance conduit, at the personal level it enhances the personality and its uniqueness. At personal and business level, which are in complete sync. Consistent behavior is vital at all points. Many building blocks exist but one has to sail through the pathway to address any stopgaps.
Differentiators:
♦ Trust development
♦ Commitment and passion
♦ Quality vs quantity
♦ Open ended
♦ Contribution
♦ Transparency
♦ Upward trend
At organisations the innate focus has to be on behaviour which truly encapsulates one's personality. In all uncertainties, one has to accept situations and people. And move ahead positively. Valuing one and others comes most naturally from those who practice the dictum, while establishing the connection, people only look for trust and trust only. At the organisational level, it's more of speeding on trust than on other valuables like name, money, or fame. Trust is a dicey word in various situations, but with simple practices on communication approaches and people practices, places a high value parameter.
Credibility can do wonders if practiced in all spheres of life. The returns would be a runaway connection with various stakeholders and enhance one's value potential, respect, value parameter. When one leads by example, the connected circle is faster with people and brings in more quality associations, trust and builds respect. Good to be walking the talk rather than talking the walk.
So, are we strong on our very own integrity, stature, and value parameters? Time to take stock of the reality perse. And a balanced scorecard way through self analysis may pave the way for a bright enhanced credibility quotient.
