🎙️ The Trust Bank Account | Every Interaction Is Either a Deposit or a Withdrawal

🎖️ Every person you lead has an invisible trust account with your name on it.

Every promise you keep makes a deposit.

Every commitment you ignore makes a withdrawal.

Every time you listen, give credit, admit a mistake, protect a confidence, or advocate for someone, you're affecting the balance.

And most leaders don't realize their account is running low until they need people to trust them through something difficult.

In Episode 6 of Command 2 Corporate, Larry Perry explores the Trust Bank Account—a simple way to think about how everyday leadership behaviors build or erode credibility.

🎯 In this episode:

🔹  How leaders actually build trust
🔹  Why small interactions matter more than we realize
🔹  The everyday behaviors that make trust deposits
🔹  The leadership behaviors that create withdrawals
🔹  Why some mistakes cost more trust than others
🔹  How a strong trust balance creates the benefit of the doubt
🔹  Whether broken trust can actually be rebuilt
🔹  Why saying "just trust me" doesn't create trust
🔹  The difference between trust and agreement
🔹  How to recognize whether your team genuinely trusts you
🔹  Why silence can sometimes be a warning sign

Trust isn't something leaders establish once.

It's being recalculated in every interaction.

Make more deposits than withdrawals.

Because one day leadership will require you to make a difficult decision, deliver hard feedback, navigate uncertainty, or ask your people to follow you somewhere they can't completely see yet.

When that day comes, you'll discover how much is actually in the account.

Imagine every relationship at work had a visible **trust balance**.

What's one small thing a leader has done for you that made a surprisingly large deposit?

And what's one seemingly small behavior you've seen leaders repeat that slowly drained the account?

I'm especially interested in the little things—because those are usually where trust is actually built.
