Credibility is an increasingly valuable attribute today. Perhaps to no one’s surprise, the 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer found a rise in polarization, with the U.S. falling in the top quarter of countries deemed “severely polarized.” But business bucks that trend. Edelman’s research found that business is now not only the most trusted institution but also the only one trusted globally. In addition, the research found that respondents overwhelmingly expect CEOs to use their resources to “hold divisive forces accountable,” according to the report’s press release. But in order for information to be seen as trustworthy, you also have to believe the person delivering it. “If you don’t believe the messenger, you won’t believe the message,” says Barry Z. Posner, leadership professor at Santa Clara University. He calls it “the first law of leadership.” Posner and his colleague James M. Kouzes, fellow of Rice University’s Doerr Institute for New Leaders, are coauthors of … [Read more...] about 7 common qualities of credible people

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV (Associated Press) MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin warmly welcomed Chinese leader Xi Jinping to the Kremlin on Monday, a visit that sent a powerful message to Western leaders allied with Ukraine that their efforts to isolate Moscow have fallen short. Xi’s trip — his first abroad since his re-election earlier this month — showed off Beijing’s new diplomatic swagger and gave a political lift to Putin just days after an international arrest warrant was issued for the Kremlin leader on war crimes charges related to Ukraine.
