It\u2019s the time of year where many of us are talking about what we want to lose\u2013a few pounds, some bad habits, a toxic relationship. Today, I\u2019m inviting you to consider what you have to gain\u2013 investing in a few key actions to improve your credibility and enhance your reputation.<\/p>\n

7 Surefire Ways to Gain More Credibility in the New Year<\/p>\n

Focus on these behaviors, early and often to give your credibility a boost in the new year.<\/p>\n

1. Admit a mistake.
\nNo. not just a small one. I\u2019m going to assume you do that every day. Is there a decision you regret? A strategic move that took the team down a rabbit hole? Or perhaps you let your personal stress bleed into your work, and were harsher in that meeting than necessary.<\/p>\n

The truth is when you screw up, your team already knows. You\u2019ll gain instantly credibility points by admitting it.<\/p>\n

2. Stop doing something stupid.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve yet to work with a company where folks couldn\u2019t list the \u201cstupid\u201d things they are still doing for stupid reasons. Want credibility as a leader? Pick one of those things and figure out how to stop doing it. Your team will want to kiss you, and you\u2019ll free up more time for them to work on their MITs (Most Important Things).<\/p>\n

3. Take a stand.<\/p>\n

I bet if I asked you to describe the leaders you most admire, or your favorite boss, we\u2019d only be a few sentences in before you told me a story about them standing up for something that mattered.\u00a0 Be that person. You know that thing you\u2019re not saying because you\u2019re too afraid? If it really matters, figure out a way to say it well.<\/p>\n

The most credible leaders are ones who help people when they have nothing to gain.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Forgive a grudge.I know. This is a hard one. But you know who you\u2019ll gain the most credibility with if you can pull this off? Yourself. There\u2019s huge value in knowing you\u2019re the one that can take the high road and give someone a second chance.5. Open a door.\n

    The most credible leaders are ones who help people when they have nothing to gain. Building a reputation as a door-opener is a great way to catalyze credibility, not to mention karma.<\/p>\n

    6. Have a real conversation with your boss.<\/p>\n

    I was exchanging stories with an old boss the other day about times where we had found ourselves being the only ones having the tough conversations with our bosses. That audacity has served us both well over the years, and has helped me build the muscles I need to now be a successful consultant. There\u2019s huge power and influence in being viewed as the person who will speak the ugly truth in a way people in power can hear it. Gain credibility by being the one who will own the ugly and work to make it better.<\/p>\n

    And guess what? If you do it well, your boss will start proactively coming to you asking for advice.<\/p>\n

    7. Rock your role.<\/p>\n

    Of course you can\u2019t beat the credibility that comes from being ridiculously great at what you do. Show up every day with your A game. Give 10% more than is necessary to every task. Be constantly learning.<\/p>\n

    Credibility is built through small and consistent actions over time. Imagine the power of paying some extra deliberate attention to a few of these vital behaviors as you turbo-charge your career for the new year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
