It’s a leadership wonder drug of 5 simple words that can make a huge difference in the workplace. A real shot of motivation and inspiration that, if delivered at the right time and place, can spur your team to the pinnacle of success. But if it’s overused, or delivered incorrectly, its potency can be radically reduced – or it could cause awful side effects.

“To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.” –George MacDonald. Over the course of our working lives, how many times have we been let down by our leaders – for promises not kept, changes that are never made, money that is never spent, or raises that never come? Enough times to keep our guards way up, and our trust level way down, when a new leader enters the room.

And it still gives me great pleasure to have my friends reach for the dictionary when I ask them to quit acting insouciantly.
