Document Summary
Credibility is your reputation for being trustworthy trustworthy to perform your work with excellence; to care about those you work with and for; to live by high ethical, corporate, and personal values; and to deliver on your promises. Credibility emerges from several sources, including abilities and achievements as well as interpersonal skills and traits. Three components of credibility: competence, caring, and character. A strong predictor of cheating in the workplace is cheating in school. Sadly, recent research has found that cheating is so pervasive that some use the label a global cheating culture. In the post-trust era, the public overwhelmingly views businesses as operating against the public"s best interests, and the majority of employees view their leaders and colleagues skeptically. Competence refers to the knowledge and skills needed to accomplish business tasks, approach business problems, and get a job done. People develop competence in many ways: through study, observation, and, most important, practice and real-world business experiences.
