Leadership and Trust Model

Model: “Ideal Leader” Crystal Prism


Leadership Model

• Open Communication: An open and sincere communication is very important for people to understand each other well and establish trust.

• Trust Environment: A proper environment should be established for the leader to aim his/her followers to the target and share his/her vision.

• Trust: The leader should believe that his/her followers will be successful on their way to the determinated target.

• Being Trusted: His/her followers should believe that the leader is trustable and honest both professionally and personally.

• Consistency: The leader should stand behind the decisions he/she makes and his/her statements and actions should complement each other.

• Being Fair: The leader should apply the organizational performance standarts equally to everyone in any environment. He/she should not give privilege to anyone and should provide the trust environment to avoid this kind of an impression.

• Vision + Integrating with vision: The leader should ensure that the consisted vision is adopted and embraced by his followers.

• Being Innovative: The leader should be able to change people’s perspectives to new and different ideas and reframe.


Reframing

Reframing is the situation which the leaders define the situation realistically as well as abiding by some values and convincing his/her team. The leader transforms the problem to make it suitable to the resolution process. In the process of transformation, his/her team should be convinced that the leader will solve the problem.

The leader who reframes thinks about people’s situations with a new perspective and also makes others think differently. He/she labels the reframed problem again and starts to recreate his definitions he makes with his experience.

Francis used the public transport and did not hesitate to merge with the public during his cardinalship. During his first speech as Pope, he stood on the same level with other cardinals instead of a platform to give the message of equality.

Atatürk and The Youth

Atatürk’s speech in 26th March, 1937 to the youth in Uludağ Night, organized by young people from Bursa who studied in Ankara:

“You, young people, vowed to follow my steps tirelessly. I am moved by these words. “You say you follow me tirelessly; but dear friends, what does tirelessly mean? You will get tired for sure. What I ask from you is not following me tirelessly, but continue walking and following me without stopping for rest when you are tired. Tiredness is natural for people, but there is such a strenght in people that it will make the tired continue. You, the youth of the new Turkey, will continue to follow me even you get tired. I am here this evening just to tell you this. The ones who start walking without the purpose of resting never and ever get tired. Turkish youth will walk towards our high ideals without stopping and resting.”


Final Say

• The first thing the leader should care about when he establishes the trust environment is to have an “open and sincere communication” with his surroundings, his inferiors and superiors

• Giving confidence is impossible without self-confidence. Being trustful is impossible without trusting. Being consistent is impossible without being fair.

• If this trust environment isn’t transferred clearly, openly and sincerely, the leadership relationship will be unobtainable.
