No matter your title, people will not follow you if they donโt trust you. Whether you are just taking over a team or working to implement large-scale change within one, you are guaranteed to run into resistance if you havenโt taken time to establish a foundation with the people you oversee before turning their worlds upside down.

John C. MaxwellI tell a person, "If I could go home with you tomorrow and you and I could spend the day together from maybe 8:00 to 6:00, and we went out to a restaurant at 6:30, I could tell you with a high degree of accuracy how successful you're going to be." That's huge because I'm just going to look and see, what kind of attitude do you have, how do you relate to people, how well do you prioritize your life? I'm going to see all of those things in the process of a day.
