class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"0.03\">I worked with an executive named Daniel<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_2.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"2.06\">from a leading investment bank who decided<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_5\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"5\">he wanted to start his own firm.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_7.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"7.03\">He wanted to offer more transparency to his clients,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_10.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"10.03\">and create a collaborative culture<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_11.08\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"11.08\">for people to work in.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_13.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"13.06\">First, he had to relinquish all his clients to the<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_16.01\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"16.01\">investment bank and start fresh to try and<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_18.04\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"18.04\">re-engage those clients and new ones<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_20.07\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"20.07\">for him new firm.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_22.02\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"22.02\">As for employees, he wanted to hire 16 people<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_24.08\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"24.08\">from the investment bank, but given regulations,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_27.07\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"27.07\">and the urgency to get started immediately,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_30.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"30.03\">he had a tight window to recruit them,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_32.04\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"32.04\">so he invited all 16 people to a meeting<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_34.05\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"34.05\">at 4:30pm on a Friday, which was immediately<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_37.09\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"37.09\">after he officially severed ties<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_39.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"39.06\">with the investment bank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"now\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"transcript_41.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"41.06\">He shared his vision with them for the first time,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_43.08\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"43.08\">and he invited them to join.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_46\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"46\">He said he&#8217;d understand if they said no,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_48.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"48.03\">but there was literally not a day to lose<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_50.02\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"50.02\">because they had to wrap up that weekend,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_52.07\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"52.07\">so if they were going to leave the investment bank<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_54.08\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"54.08\">and join his venture, they would need to decide,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_57.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"57.06\">sign, and send the appropriate<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_59\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"59\">documents before 5pm.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_62\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"62\">In other words, he asked 16 mature, extremely<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_64.09\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"64.09\">talented, accomplished professionals on 30 minutes<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_67.09\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"67.09\">notice to leave their stable, very well compensated,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_71.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"71.03\">established positions in a world famous investment<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_74.01\" class=\"transcript now\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"74.01\">bank, to join a fledgling venture, which at that point<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_77.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"77.03\">had exactly zero clients and zero income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"transcript_81.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"81.06\">All 16 said yes.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_84.04\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"84.04\">They dropped everything to follow Daniel.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_86.08\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"86.08\">Why?<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_88.02\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"88.02\">Because they trusted him.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_90.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"90.03\">Because he earned their trust.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_92.04\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"92.04\">In fact, he earned it long before he even<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_94.08\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"94.08\">considered starting his own firm.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_97.04\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"97.04\">His consistent actions over time convinced them,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_100\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"100\">beyond question, that their interest mattered to him,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_103.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"103.03\">and he would come through for them.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_105.04\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"105.04\">He earned the trust of his clients&#8217;, too.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_107.02\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"107.02\">Daniel says one of the things he&#8217;s most proud of<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_109.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"109.06\">is what happened when he called his former<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_111.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"111.06\">clients and asked them for their business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"transcript_114.01\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"114.01\">Well, previously under the auspices of that global,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_116.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"116.06\">reputable investment back, he had several billion<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_119.02\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"119.02\">dollars from clients under management.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_122.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"122.03\">After a round of calls to those same clients,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_124.08\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"124.08\">he had regained the initial amount plus 50% more.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_129.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"129.06\">These sophisticated, highly intelligent investors<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_132.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"132.06\">trusted him even more without the backing<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_135.02\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"135.02\">reputation and resources of a world famous firm.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_139.05\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"139.05\">The employees voted with their feet and their futures.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_143.04\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"143.04\">The clients voted with their hard earned income,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_146.05\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"146.05\">and they were both right to trust Daniel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"transcript_149.04\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"149.04\">His firm has grown sensationally since then,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_151.07\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"151.07\">and he&#8217;s racked up a consistent streak of awards<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_153.09\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"153.09\">in his industry year after year.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_156.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"156.06\">If Daniel hadn&#8217;t earned their trust long before<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_158.09\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"158.09\">he needed it, he, his employees, and his clients<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_162.05\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"162.05\">all would&#8217;ve lost out.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_164.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"164.03\">None of this would&#8217;ve happened.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_166\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"166\">Earning trust every day is the foundation<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_168.02\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"168.02\">of successful executive leadership.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_170.08\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"170.08\">Whether they say it or not, a question on<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_172.08\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"172.08\">everyone&#8217;s mind is, <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">&#8220;Why should we follow you?&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/span> <span id=\"transcript_176\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"176\">The best answer is, <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>&#8220;Because we trust you.&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><\/span> <span id=\"transcript_179.04\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"179.04\">We trust you to look out for our best interest,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_182.04\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"182.04\">to help us succeed, empower us to reach our goals,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_185.09\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"185.09\">and do more than we thought we could.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span id=\"transcript_187.07\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"187.07\">To help us be proud of the<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_189\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"189\">meaningful work we&#8217;ve done.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_190.09\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"190.09\">But there&#8217;s only one way to gain it and keep it,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_193.06\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"193.06\">and that&#8217;s to earn it.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_195.04\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"195.04\">Whether people trust us is 100% up to them<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_198\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"198\">based on the impact of our actions on them.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_201.09\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"201.09\">When you build trust, everything goes better.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_204.05\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"204.05\">When you damage it, everything gets worse.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_207\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"207\">That&#8217;s why Daniel&#8217;s lesson applies to executive<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_209.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"209.03\">leaders in all organizations and industries.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_212.07\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"212.07\">Here&#8217;s what to do.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_214\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"214\">In your interactions every day,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_215.07\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"215.07\">take actions that increase the three<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_217.08\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"217.08\">key factors that build trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p

data-duration=\"230.04\">Make commitments, and follow through.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_232.05\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"232.05\">Close the loop on all expectations.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_235.01\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193619\" data-duration=\"235.01\">If sometimes you fall short, do whatever it<\/span> <span

that all of your choices as an<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_15.03\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193620\" data-duration=\"15.03\">executive leader should align with two principles,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_18.05\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193620\" data-duration=\"18.05\">earn trust and serve your people.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_21\" class=\"transcript\"

tests, and everything you do,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_25.01\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193620\" data-duration=\"25.01\">everything you say, should pass those tests,<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_28.02\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193620\" data-duration=\"28.02\">and take strength from those motives.<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_30.08\" class=\"transcript\"

data-duration=\"36\">how should you focus your efforts?<\/span> <span id=\"transcript_38.01\" class=\"transcript\" data-start-video=\"193620\" data-duration=\"38.01\">In four distinct ways,<\/span>
