Let's talk trust in leadership. Any business or team effort requires a certain amount of trust. Employees trust that their leaders have a plan. Leadership members trust that their team members will follow through in their work. Everyone is trusting everyone else to do their part to reach an end goal. Without trust, leaders can slip into unhelpful practices like micromanaging and team members fail to fulfil their part to get the job done. Everyone is miserable as a result, and no one can seem to find a way out. When we trust each other to work toward a common goal, not only are we more likely to accomplish it effectively, but everyone finds more satisfaction and pride in their work. There's nothing like the feeling you get from a job well done.

This month is all about the CliftonStrength talent of EMPATHY. People talented in this theme have a great ability to sense others feelings. Great leaders don’t just command—they connect. ?? Empathy isn’t a “soft skill”; it’s a leadership superpower that fosters trust, drives innovation, and builds stronger teams. ? When leaders listen, understand, and support their people, workplaces thrive. ?? Empathetic leadership leads to higher engagement, better collaboration, and a culture of belonging. ?? The best leaders—past and present—share one trait: they care. Tag a leader who embodies empathy! ?? #Leadership #EmpathyMatters #StrengthsSunday #CliftonStrengths #Gallup

"...People, when rightly and fully trusted, will return that trust." Abraham Lincoln When you think of a leader you'd like to follow, what are the most important qualities that come to mind?

Trust that they are honest and will follow through on their promises. ?? And the trust they extend us to do our part. That's why trust is one of our core values at Open Gate Consulting, as well as an imprtant leadership competency we focus on.

To kick off Women in Construction Week, we chat with Sarah Nienhuis, a leader in the construction industry, and the challenges she faced that weren't covered in school. Starting out as Staff Accountant, she later earned her MBA and having been with her company for over 20 years is now an invaluable member of the team. Sarah extols the importance of having a good mentor as you navigate the workplace and find your footing in a predominantly male industry. Her mentor's advice in effective communication, continuing education, and interpersonal interactions were invaluable. As a woman in construction, her advice consists of always keeping your cool, being very intentional in the way you communicate with others, and always remembering the Golden Rule. She mentions the importance of listening to and learning from others whom you trust. Whatever industry you're in, Sarah's powerful wisdom benefits us all.
